His Word Is Not His Bond |
He lives in a waste |
void of culture and taste |
his eye on a prize beyond |
His every word |
is in the right place |
but his word is not his bond |
His face his comely |
his heart it bleeds |
yet it’s but a mantle he has donned |
Mark him only |
by his deeds |
for his word is not his bond |
I’d love to take him |
out of his room |
and gently break him |
I’d love to see |
him |
dance ! |
His protege deals |
in confusion and fog |
Of power he is fond |
Wheels within wheels |
— like master, like dog |
His word is not his bond |
I’m trying to swim |
but I’m caught in the shallows |
and I sense that I’ve been conned |
Deliver him |
…to the gallows ! |
His word is not his bond |
