stranded
in a life in which your struggle for acceptance
is a never-ending chore
upbraided
for your actions past and present and rewarded for ideas

of the future´s bright open door
the henchman
is the human analogue of the suffering multitudes
who like good dogs sit and lick for their reward
so what good advice have I got for you
to insure against your likely metamorphosis into this reprobate?
don´t be a henchman!
stand on your laurels
do what no one else does
praise the good of other men for good man´s sake
and when everyone else in the world follows your lead
(although a cold day in hell it will surely be)
that´s when the entire world shall live in harmony
