The Puerile Score
Ignominy reflected back
To silly Emerald eyes
As undertaking honesty
Conformed with compromise
So hustling integrity?
Oh here we go again
Flourishing has finalized
With grief's ironic spin
Flaming optic waterfalls
Cascading scorn to verve
Exacerbate puerility
Depleting pride's reserve
Cynical and lyrical
Now there's a wicked pair
Especially when sanity
Finds comfort in despair
Fairytales from padded cells
Are tainted evermore
Especially since probity's
Amused with keeping score.
