Destiny and the Muting of Scrutiny

Men fly The War-Plane of Mutiny By querying their Destiny And fly The Very Flag of Mutiny When Destiny they mock with scrutiny Vowing to no more drink Martini Nor in other coolers harbor any tinny Just like Britain can’t erase her felony When Nigeria was her colony One can’t A World of Monotony Through ceaseless appearance in a ceremony! Into it I read a mutiny And a rebellion against Destiny A Can-Never-Stop Glutton Checking quarrels with his shirt button Or a Decreed life of Celibacy Fighting this with Ecstasy Or even with The Slowest Immediacy … Against Foreordained Destiny We unwisely mutiny With our Wise Scrutiny.
