holding jaw high, proud

as animated, raw crowd

awards unmerited noises loud

seen as "miracle worker"

yet, if truly knowing self

would elate at being despised

grasping that his faith

shamelessly he compromised

walking in unfitting shoes

formidably disguised

raising face high, proud

as enthusiastic, thick crowd

rewards with unearned sounds loud

looked upon as "miracle worker"

still, if truly knowing self

would grieve facing undue praise

grasping he failed to show a face

conceding faith in all-round ways

striding in garment disguised

subteen, sterilized

beefed up with satanic ties

if knowing self

would exult at being despised

inflated buffoon with caustic lies

set down as "miracle worker"

instead as a lost fellow

needing heart rich and mellow

dressing in suit on credit

with no liable human merit

just a broken violin bow

in the Hand of Divine Artist

is he eager to conform?

willing to sow, to grow?

battle persistent foe?

seek for true cause to glow?

executive mansion

puppet master

hubristic, cunning noggin,

leader of arrant disaster
