Untitled 2 (a puzzle)
B. E. McCool 1994 (Texas)
Why must we Put morally devoid Public Polluters on Pedestals? those who Perturb the Poor Pious, and Pervert the Powerless, Pitiful, Populace.
Immaculately, Incompetent.
Yet Infatuated, Idiotically.
by Irritatingly Indispensable.
Individuals, Immortalizing.
Indisputable Ignorance.
I'm Saddened by the Stagnant Stench
left by Senile "Saints" after Scorching and Scarring
Short-sighted Second-hand citizens.
what Should be done?
Should we Shine light on Shadow revealing our Shameful nudity?
or let fester the Shameful veiling of our own Self-destructive, Self-interest?
Oh, how do we Outlaw Obsessive cultural Obscenity,
without Obstructing the rights of the Overshadowed Opposition.
How do we Frankly divide the Fiendish and the Friendly?
How do we separate Fevered souls from Famished individuals Fairly?
For now, the only First step I see, is to step back and Face the assailants of humanity. With Fervor in the voice and authority in the eye.
stand Forth and proclaim:
11__,10__,9__,8__,7__,6__,5__....
