Extravagant in words
Liberal in behaviour
stingy in spending
bereft of thinking
are the characteristics
of a man known to me
known to me not alone
but to you also
in a place familiar to me
familiar to me not alone
but also to you
speaking rotten
and talking nonsense
at places public
has been his way
and he does this in perfect sway
thinking he is great
and assuming himself to be lord
holding court with a few “Yes” men
who get kick backs for their
passive obedience and acceptance
and who laugh over his foolery
once he goes out of sight
I see you chuckle
which gives out
that you also know him
or persons like him.
