From time immemorial,
those who would deceive
viewed morality
from under the bridge
and concluded
that integrity was a choice
rather than a component
of human character--
thus laying the foundation
for acceptable chaos
and autocratic rule of law
to be spat into the faces
of the disenfranchised have-nots
who now wallow in the phlegm
echoing from the buccal cavities
of the evil deceiving have-gots:
Yet, cluttered is history
with the trump card debris
of a wishful would-be tyrant.
