For those who grab the
spotlight
who sit in righteous
judgment
Casting the first stone
against their fellow man.
A harsh mirror, from the
carnie, the fun house
Distorts their features
a parody of themselves
when their own sin is
exposed, shone across the dial,
the web, the real-time news
cycle
How far the mighty climb
in the Temple, the Pharisees,
How far they fall, how they
shatter,
When the shards of their
glass house
crumbles under the weight
of their own hubris
