“SELF EXAMINATION”

     (speaking to my “id”)

           {page two}

Bargain of god, -

             such creatures are holy.

What’s happened to this specimen –?

              is it fictional solely?

Pray, what is the formula –

             what is the mixture?

Used in forming this titan –

              a saintly fixture.

Guardian of truth –

               purveyor of right.

August of stature –

               solid of might.

Big of heart, to the point of logic –

               and slow to anger.

Redundant in worth –

               while praise concise.

The day of fast friendship –

                has passed o’er the scene.

Replaced by a blend ship –

                jealousy and spite.

“Glory for me” – with a salty excursion,

                to hell and back – a pitiful sight...
