censory

that devil you hold so dear
but for when it counts
he is a two-way madman
a devine despot

jack of all traitors
and every man's master 
in rage he does not clench but wags

does he compose loveliness
and laud himself, this prophet?
binding men in knots and oughts, 
both a priest and profit?

this tease and thief
and chief apologist
do cut him out

the price of his romance
war amongst kin
do cut him out

first do no harm, dear man
your taste is not so good
give up your tongue 
that sense of sensual self
that devil inside


and would that he could
he'll trick you twice
do cut him out
