Yoni Dvorkis Poet Grook

Scapegoat

A time tested honor
to be branded a goner,
just stand in the middle
of their circle of blame.
In this sex-crazed society
still obsessed with propriety,
it is you they'll belittle
to protect their good name.





*Inspired by the spot-on gorgeous frowny faces anchoring the Fox News Network. 
  Keep pointin' dem fingers boys!

John Freeman September 5, 2009 at 8:14 PM The carnal mind always needs the underdog, for subject to scorn, for it lives in the insecurity of it's egotistical self. Brilliantly written piece, Good job. Sincerely Moses
