Where
have they gone
these
noble men?
Once
they were gods
great
gods among us
but their
pedestals have
crumbled,
turned to dust
lies
and deceit
all
shades of trickery
slide
from their mouths
like
worms
trust
. . . misplaced
honor . . . diminished
loyalty . . . traded for coins
chivalry . . . erased from myths
and
yet, these Once Gods
still
envision olive wreaths
around
their heads at a
mirrors
glance
even
though transparent
garments
clothe their backs
revealing
the very same ass cracks
seen
on those of us who used to
stand
in awe.
