A Change of Heart

I did not like him when he was alive. So now that he lies dead, nothing has changed. Yes, I know this sounds inhuman, heartless Or call it what you like but I cannot Be a hypocrite. I’ll not eulogize. In life he embodied all that I’m not. This does not mean that I’d wished the man dead. Like I said, I disliked him, not hate him. In a word, he was an unscrupulous Man--that’s right! Devoid of all principles; Contemptuous of what was right and just; A self-absorbed, egocentric brute Where few if any will remember him Except perhaps me, may god bless his soul!
