How unfortified are favored mystics;
ripened men devoid of backbones,
ladies with bogus analogies of love,
others, their nuisances known.

Some put fools on pedestals,
without attention to outcome,
but things are much different
when dealing with intellectuals.
If recollection tallies,

“Self-praise is no recommendation.”

We do as the good book bids us:
“Answer fools according to their follies.”

so we reject the king’s meat.
Truth is, we are what we eat … and drink.

How warped is their integrity.
Let them cast the first stone;
I’m balanced high on clouds from cannabis,
while their brains swim in mugs of Ethanol.

except delusion of grandeur,
and the rich men have a strong-hold on America’s carotid.

but while we tarry for time’s revelation
