A Good Man
so says the wise man
that we should know a
leopard by its spots
a liar by his plots
and the poor man by his lots
we know a dog
by his bark
a fighter by his bite
and a bitter man by his spite
so we know an ass
by his stubborn ways
we see lame men's legs splay
the price the rich man pays
to asssume superiority
but do we know a good man
or just blindly bow to authority?
