T’is nobler, said,
to be a humble man
penitent and patient
with forethought of plan  
to be well read
and a steward of the land
assured when posing a statement
strong in the conviction he stands

long gone is this type day
and the stand-up guy
today we find something else
looking us eye to eye
clam handshake and fashion, gay
unable to think or fly
Versace tie, Abercrombie belts
not sure if I should cry or sigh

conditioned beards and the tightest pants
so far past just sensitive
naming children Tyler and Evan
think they should be given a sedative
or something stronger to end this dance…
and before you all get tentative
I do want them to go to heaven
I just also wish they would cease to live –
