Myth

Being mean is not new,

myths tell the audience.

The dagger in my pocket

may be blunt, but sharp is

my tongue, as long as it ain’t cut

out by the adversary

the adversary that is you, or

your neighbour, and all those that

hate the words that undermine,

that mine thoughts of ordinary

people, fed by those of eminent

leaders, who cherrish rotten

eggs for ideas.
