In these times of rescindment
Castigated for a false
Implication
To do with incredulous morons
Conniving all night and day
To convince the world that I
Inadvertently exposed myself
For my loud and proud
Bigotry
There aren't discrepancies
In my calculated
Impecunious circumstances
Exactly a decade
Not held down
By tedious stone-cutter jobs
My 'artwork' takes precedence
Over their working-class tumult
Your ferule I won't use
To flagellate
Because what's about to transpire
Will free me from my predicament
As well as my 'idiosyncrasies'
Which automatically release me
From your superfluous weight
And my tremendous animosity
