Here’s what I’ve observed...

Geeks in green glasses working as slaves

are beautiful Greeks eating like kings.

Magnolia garments disposed in fire,

replaced by flawless frocks stitched by the empire.

I have a diploma in being a fly on the wall,

and a master’s degree as a professional spy.

If only they’ve embraced the beautiful quirks, and see

What would have been had there have been courage.

Some correlations are destined to work: Bread and butter.

Many should never be mixed: Booze and politics.

Loyalty is the secret to immortality.

Disloyalty always paves a tragic path.

Those dying snakes in front of us were once human.
