A Sad Old Man on
the Witness Stand
How easy it is to scorn the man we see
Bloated and loud-mouthed, insolent to all
A foul and loathsome tormentor of souls
A false accuser, a treacherous man
And now we see him brought low at last
Sweating and coughing and goggling his eyes
The tormentor now snarling in outrage and fear
His lies and greed and hate turned back on him
A curious thing about this squirming creature:
Maybe in him we see something of ourselves
