Ergo, law and order is ridiculed, scorned and made unclear
'Arm it in rags, a pigmy's straw does pierce it,' declares Avon's scion and sonneteer
Hence, uneven and weighted brass scales, favour gold-plated buccaneers.
**
Noisome propagandists prepare bile-filled golden chalices
Every droplet a toxic mix and brew of lies, hate, and malice
Poisonous, dangerous, divisive, doctrines, spewed from gold megaphones
Fermenting chaos from beneath golden parachutes, and vicious attack drones.
**
Leaden minds and thoughts; to the betterment of humanity; dumb, deaf and blind
Forsooth, earthly gold will by and by, turn musty and gather rust
Albeit, hearts of gold, with love towards mankind, will forever be alive
Tried, tested and the truly golden ones, alone, can ensure our species and planet survives.
