ATUPA -LANTERN-

Stubborn, deaf, or just glee
Being who swings lip across nose
Asking who stinks  
Knowing less he does. 

That reminds me
Of relic modern lantern 
Back where - I walk 
My way to Damascus -
Lighting in and ahead 
But blind towards 
Tiny creature beneath 

Hated Pharisaical Ninnyhammer across 
‘You live beside mistake’ His words
Knowing less he does
