A poem by my niece, worth any ten of my parodies
Liars, cheaters
Besmirch the house
Once of honor, prestige
Now mocked the world over

They break the rules
Violate, desecrate
The most sacred of laws
And get away with it

One is known for turning
Predator into prey
The other for making
All grammar nazis cringe

Our reputation and standing
With the world has been
Completely destroyed
We no longer stand tall

On our pedestal of marble
It was chipped away at
Until it could no longer stand
And then down we tumbled

All because of one who
Started a war and is
Murdering the fathers
And mothers of the

Generation to come
And he does it all
In one name, for
The glory of one name

His own.
-------------
You-know-who, man.
Enjoy.
~Memmens
Revenge and avenge are the same thing; avenge just sounds nobler.
