Paragon of Virtues

Paragon of virtues in not here All there is are jests Reapers of fruits of sorrow Apologists of denied rights Givers of plateful of tears Oedipus creatures of tragedy Notorious angels of piracy Over-seers of dangling diabetic bellies Fire- fighters against free conscience Virtue is scarce as rain in Sahara In praise of folly is preoccupation Royalty shifting to trigger-happy kids The schooled not educated yet Unless Spirit of God descends Electra, Oedipus beings shall prosper Scary ghost land homeland postures
