The Other
By maipenrai
10 July 2007
I will soon discard the other
the one you know as me,
he as served his purpose and
now he must be gone.

revealed
I shall heve my revenge on
intellectual timewasters,
they shall be burnt at the stake.

pontificating fools
shall be torn apart
by four horses wild,
their limbs to be eaten by the beasts

the unbelievers,
those who do not bow to
my enlightenment and inner peace
shall be boiled alive in a vat of pig fat.

Contradiction in final verse worked well. Specific or generic?

Hi

to Audrie and Phil and thank you both for your comments. 
 
this is meant as a gentle p take on myself and others, sometimes as poets we let our sense of self importence overide our common sense and end up looking rather pretensious and foolish.

A lovely piece of vicious invective, Bernie.  
 
Watch your spelling though...
