I thought about the news I heard,
conveyed upon a single word.
A man I found obscene, absurd,
had stumbled into misery.
I must admit I felt some joy,
when fate maligned that spiteful boy,
who pissed away his life’s employ,
while doing me much injury.
Does my reaction startle you?
Forgive this heart for mercy due,
but quid pro quo with revenue.
Yes, I have earned my
enmity.
So if the world needs my surrender,
do away with my contender,
and give me over into splendour,
to bathe in Lethe’s obscurity.
