Of An Old Roman, A Law And Order Man

With stomping march, and hard-strapped, hobnailed sandals,

we crush opposers' protest, pleas, and scandals.

No one has done more for the world than us;

we move to silence all subversive fuss.

High walls protect some of our noble borders;

within which we enforce our laws and orders,

For your good, our dictations' legal dictions

provide you steep tax bills and crucifixions.

 

Sure, Bleeder, you just had to bring mention that---

because it you know it will embarrass me,

and chew at me just like a squirming maggot

that fouls a fruit.  You are a scholarcrat---

you gave me that impression, certainly.

You say that all Rome loves the Poetry

of Vergil?  Not this Roman:  idiocy

compels you to express your admiration

of him; subversion is your motivation.

You know damn well that Vergil was a faggot.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Some of the lines are meant to echo the default habit of the nation's present ceo (I cannot use the title given to his predecessors---George Washington, Abraham Lincoln; and, even, Millard Fillmore, as superior to the present office-holder).  The prejudicial words in the ninth and last lines are their to satirize the poem's speaker, and do not represent my opinions; "bleeder" stands for "bleeding heart."
