An Emperor With No Clothing

An Emperor With No Clothing
Would Be A Painful Site
No Hat No Hair No Paint No Lies
No Devil In Disguise
No Right...

 But Smoother In The
   Darkest Night
    They Slither Out Of View
     A Mote Into The Madness
      Passing --- 
       Clearly Out Of
         TRUE *

Whatever! Wearing Costumes...
Let's See Who's Dressed The Best!
From Military Uniforms To
Oops!!! Revealing Breasts.

          OK,

    You KNOW What's
        "Proper,"
      But Are You 
          SURE.
           ???

          CUZ:

We've Made A Mess 
  Of Naked-ness  
      Since We 
 Realized We Were.
