"Now chastened just a little toward the last"


Poem Artwork

The Fall of the House of No

The braying bullies of the House of No
Now chastened just a little toward the last
Though blind as ever sense they soon must go
Back beneath bleak rocks and into the past
Yet followed by their failures even there

Too blind to repent still they must relent
With cries for jail and justice in the air
Resentment like a lightning bolt strikes home
Mutinous murderous mad from the wars
A republic turned imperial Rome

The pimps are more to blame than are their whores

A write worthy of Shakespeare.
We need to guard ourselves that we don't go the same way.
God Bless,
