huddled in false security
it had no intentions
of being discovered but
with a gleam and a
practiced flip it was
uncovered

naked and shivering
it sought refuge with
another
and another

overcrowding forced
it out into the open
for guilt and shame
now occupied its
sanctuary

peace demanded
a death sentence as
the author of deceit
distorted the truth

will set you free

a lie is no excuse
for pardon

with chaos crowned
and all subjects dutifully
paying homage the instigator
left to find another
to uncover

did anybody ever tell you you write really well when you're indignant?

Now how am I supposed to give a poem the sincere appreciation it deserves when I'm giggling and ducking (and being grateful you couldn't hit the side of a barn? *G*)

I like this very much, Lovey... your muse funnels indignation very well. *S*

Thank you.

That's the way, all right....no doubt about it!

But don't give up, for every hundred or so dirtbags, there's at least one good one.....

....and I'm with the Reb on this one -- you write a really good mad! I will ardently attempt to stay on your good side...

I wish I could write like this and not be so obvious with my words.

Very nice
