another on J-Z
How tiring for J-Z
to be (as he presents himself
with constancy) one of the few,
if not the only man,
within the fallen world who’s pure,
and who alone has eyes to see
how always selfishly, in sin,
and moved by seething greed,
his fellow humans act.
And there’s his claim
(implicit as it is)
that he is gifted, so unlike
his kith and kin or any other member
of mankind, to ken, to know,
what’s truly on God’s mind.
Poor you, you over-burdened,
much beleaguered Syrian!
