Late Night Rambling

You’re a disgrace
to the concept of family
the priest won’t divulge
that fact in his homily
and I’ll stand up and scream
if the mourning remain quiet
you can deck out a lie
in a suit but I won’t buy it
I won’t join in the procession
that’s speaking their peace
using five-dollar words
while praising his integrity
and just ‘cause he’s gone
it doesn’t change the fact
he was a bastard in life
thus a bastard in death
