The Government
A Poem
May 23, 2023
To despise is to grow wise.
Ok, reprimand me.
I’ve never believed that a word can be too strong,
for it’s not like the sea.
What I mean,
when I say I despise,
is not that I will look on with evil eyes.
Rather that I believe the thing cannot be a friend of mine.
I despise
hypocrisy,
when you tell lies,
cower and hide
in your palace of marble skies.
Please, don’t leave our fate to your bias.
You, so pious
can’t see, you’ve got blinders.
But I can see,
I’ve grown wise
and so, I despise.
