Mr Professor by Lionel G Fogarty

Criticism
reflecting fiction of todays sickness
critics in attics
selfish
about to refer
fixing world famous figures
added to modern literature
and produced in the future.
Writers always not right
Left wing
fly at times
on right wing.
Criticism still reflects
in the fiction of real life
Thanks, Mr Professor
for those kind gestures
but I’m doing my thing.
Our guns are alive
that’s the reality
alive
like lava
and your intellectual
and academic criticisms
have been your industry,
out of our oppression.
