So, Joe McCarthy died of hepatitis.
The ringing irony gives me tinnitus.
The hypocrisies done by men, self-righteous;
Prescribing that all but themselves be pious.
Born of privilege, or just stolen from others…
Tout values as aegis for their own druthers.
Impoverished of moral compasses, these.
Bound & beheld by a crucifixion’s geas.
No more let the powerful litigate right.
Time’s fullness has proved what they did in the night.
Follow faithful your sense of good & of bad.
We’re born with knowledge; most forget for some fad.
