Charlatan

 Possessed of great talent and intellect,
yet always kind and empathetic --
that's the image you try to project,
but those who know you know you're pathetic.

Your wit is as sharp as a machete
that has been rusting for 37 weeks,
your logic as scattered as confetti
falling like fake snow on the streets.

In your yard you have a statue of Buddha.
You kowtow before it every day,
but your smile reminds me of a barracuda
just before it devours its prey.

Your true nature is as sweet as chocolate mousse
that has been pissed on by a caribou.
I hope and pray that you will never reproduce.
We don't need anyone else like you. - Jeff Barnes
