For he smacks of insincerity
He appears to thrive
On the histories of other mens stories
He walks too calmly for a hero
Through the unseen battlefields
And yet I read on
For his style engages me
His fluency with modern English
Speaks volumes for research, and education
Not that I despise his position
(Although of course I do)
Especially knowing that I have neither
The intellect
Nor the absence of feeling
Which is required for such writing
Or for pontificating
In the establishments ivory towers
