Mean Ends and Means

Only clowns had masks

And secret agents

Personae non grata 

Disallowed from disguise


Now the Stasi and Gestapo

Of all nations denunciate

Those renegade souls

Who hide their screen


Blindfolded we justify

Judge and reprimand

Cushion our conscience

In self-righteousness
