AM I BEING UNREASONABLE?
Am I being unreasonable
in wanting total fulfillment
for all living things
(including the Great Unwashed?)
The names we call each other!
It's how you feel that defines
who you see: heartless foulbreathed
fiend or dynamo of enterprise,
low-brow no-good son-of-a-whore
or innocent victim of manmade laws.
Evil Prince of Deception,
condemned to eternal perfidy,
or noble Prometheus,
lightbringing Lucifer,
messiah of Intelligence.
