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
