Notorious

Voidof any social graces,

Bannedfrom all the nicest places,

Fallingoff the learning curve

Thatcommon etiquette embraces.

 

Notadept at tolerance,

Atbuilding trust or building fences.

Brutishforce seems more adroit

Whennecessary to convince.

 

Strongwinds blow to feed the flame,

Kindlingill-gotten fame.

Notorious,uproarious,

Seekingsomeone else to blame.

 

Burningcandles through the night.

Rightis wrong and wrong is right.

Allthat matters in the end is

Whowill win this futile fight.

 

Whenthe beast comes home to rest

Willhe finish second best?

Willhis pride be satisfied?

Willhis conscience stand the test?
