Only the Obscure Is Sure

Which man is ever secure,
When he’s no longer obscure 
Or sticks to Normal Strife
While it’s a New World of knife
Or hangs to Clean Lifestyle
Amidst pressures from Dirty Guile
Or weird aches has none to cure
Showing that he’s been The Pure?

Who, indeed, has been intact:
A public figure, No Tact?
Who doesn’t know he can sink
Or in the limelight just shrink,
As he keeps with The Great a link,
His lips obliging Best drink …

I should in some scared chair coil
And from swift touches recoil 
And with perfect anger boil,
Ordering calming whisky
For walks becoming risky,
Sure that they would my treasures loot
And as gladly poor me shoot.
