sharp words 
scratching against the fabric 
of civilized society
slowly tearing apart 
the structure
of reason and tolerance
ignorant assaults  
launched by loud
self-appointed
self-important
self-aggrandizing

Where (For Sarah)
Where will I be when your light is snuffed from my life?
When you no longer breathe the air I breathe, and I continue unknowing
chopping onions, typing letters, self-aggrandizing

I’m thinking we’re on a downhill slide
With self-aggrandizing politicians now,
Bloviating so self-assured and snide
Paying no attention to their campaign vow.
With an eye on their big monied donors,
They think little of their constituencies
Sometimes I think they are really stoners,
And need more prayer time on their knees.

If you think this vivisepulture will be my end

And I'll be damned if this is how I descend

Just another obsequious sycophant 
And a supercilious, self-aggrandizing fraud
In this room there is but one elephant
And it will most certainly break down the façade

I will use the stone you try to bury me with
To build on top of your house a splendid monolith...
