The Unquestionable
He roved to their yard with fire
He bounced to the barns
And blazed them down to ashes.
They watched in pains
As he blamed it upon the fire.
He wandered to their stream with filths
He traversed to its source
And spread upon its face the filths.
The groaned in pang
As he blamed it upon the filths
He strolled to their market with light fingers
He made for their purses
And poured them down his porch.
They whimpered in grief
As he blamed it upon the fingers
He paced to their yard, again
He poached their pots
And protruded his big belly from them.
A young lad from the new edge of the yard
Whispered "but this isn't right".
"Hush!" The elders cautioned
In defeated voices
"He is the unquestionable, a blue blooded being"
