From where they lie
Only the tops of buildings
and trees are visible
Outside the window

Too limited a visual space
For such arrogant righteousness
Hindered as they are
Both mentally and physically

And yet…

Their negative capability
And refusal to stand upright
Has been accepted
As THE radical expression of truth

Recruited by modern day Delilah’s
They willingly cut off their hair
Then press a button
Proclaiming intellectual profundity

They will never admit to
Machiavellian maneuvers
To attract morally weak frauds
Who paint by numbers

They will boast authorship
For matchmaking answers
To generational queries
Randomly selected from a drop down menu

Blatantly ignorant of
What is needed
Steadfastly facing North
While history keeps repeating

Their arrogant vacuous selves
Tremble to e major
As they lie there looking up
Covering themselves with undeserved Hallelujahs
