Mocking Mbevi

Flaunting bliss like a golden medal
He struts about like a valiant prince,
Frowning at every sensible locution:
To mar and blemish and hurt and wince. 

He knows no sense
Nor appreciates status,
His bliss is supreme law:
Brain's self-breaking hiatus. 

He’s doomed to total damnation 
And kisses that fact with glee;
Beckoning his annihilation
With feather-brained mirth.
