I Choke on my Pride

When I step on your miserable toes,
Do not flatter yourself that i'll be sorry--
It is because you’re invisible

If your clothes were as fine,
And your shoes as sleek as mine
Then probably I wouldn't dull your shine
When I sneer at your looks,
And spew at your presence
It is neither by choice nor design
You nauseate my stomach

When I call you in spitefulness
It is not to denigrate your lowliness--
You’re a miserable excuse of a person

I would spare you the shame for your name
And pile it on a stick at the roadside
But you’re the son of a whore,
Some drunk’s bastard brought on earth
An indelible mark of disgrace to humanity
If your birth was without blemish
And your name worth of a tittle
I would address you in propriety

crai of jastis

The Last Bouquet

Behold, our bridal gaiety
A pageantry of glitz
Beauty be a bloom,
A thousand lilies-stuck
Still come to naught
Grandeur and virtuousness
Defies nous and notions,
Eye-deafening spectacle   
And ear-blinding whirrs
Queens’ and kings’ obeisance
Fondle her feet with honor

Eerie deities grace the floor
In gaudy turbulent togas,
Fancy fiery masquerades
Choke our somber sobriety
Brandishing rusty machetes
Cold with scabbard mold
Blade stunts and wiles
Rouse the nuptial repast
A Nubian prince of war,
Lies slain in pseudo mêlée
A tribute to the numb tsarina
