Be Wary of the Good Man

Be wary of the good man,

The sainted and the righteous,

The man who is ambitious

To come to his own defense.

Be wary of the good man,

Afflicted by the absent,

And plagued by persecutors

Who never seem to emerge.

Be wary of the good man

Who eloquently insists

That he is not a sexist,

Because chances are he is.

Be wary of the good man,

The man so gentle and mild,

Who eviscerates with words

While with a halo adorned.

Be wary of the good man

Who makes it his proud mission

To destroy those who test him,

Always emerging unscathed.

Be wary of the good man,

The affable, friendly man,

Whose old friends are enemies

And whose friends are sycophants.

Be wary of the good man

Who works in dark shadows,

Who insists that he brings light

But brings confusion instead.

Be wary of the good man

Because he will change your life-

A piece, never recovered,

Remembered, but never regained.
