Non-Governmental Mosquitoes
Verbal etalage of secret views variant
Did tarnish your image at the quarreling theatre,
When you threw decency and caution to the wind,
Just in time to prove Shakespeare right:
“The world is a stage.”
Never in my life have I witnessed such volcanic eruption of fiery insults—
True and untrue,
Real and unnatural.
We may invite you again,
Just to testify against each other in the quarreling theatre,
Where Mbaluto once held onto the orphan snake-clasp of his belt—
But Maluto was plaintiff.
Shame on you!
You bloody dandy darlings,
You who drink honey from human skulls—
Real non-governmental mosquitoes.
Shame on every non-governmental mosquito!
