Ambition

You stopped me on my way to the well,
said you had something to me to tell.
Something new so I listened to you
Until your words started to ring untrue.
You spoke of those anti- and non- folds
god, even before Colbert those arguments were old.
I came to see it your way
that of course the weightier hold sway
Can it change? I wondered I thought
But of course by then you had been bought.
Small me could see
the world shrinking to make more size for thee.
