An Epithet

“Admirable beacon of rectitude” A great sounding epithet said of me You think? That depends on whose point of view. It’s like the fruit of a poisonous tree. It looks harmless, nonetheless toxic. It can be said for the appellation- Sounds great yet often a vitriolic Mean-spirited, misinterpretation. The interpretation, self-righteousness In the meanest, cruelest sense of the word. I live a moral code nevertheless In spite of the consensus of the herd. If I’m a single lighthouse on the coast, Expect from me examples from this post.
