Martyrs Or Magistrates

Seldom, if ever
Do the people
Whose crosses we feel we have
Nailed ourselves upon,
Fully appreciate the sacrifices
We believe we have made
On their behalf

Seldom, if ever
Do the people
Whose moral defects we feel we have
The right to pass judgement on,
Fully accept the pronouncements
We felt entitled to make
From our superior position
