The emperor has no clothes


The emperor has no clothes.
I mean, they're hand me downs.
He squandered all his fortunes.
He lost more than he ever earned.

He is a tragic Greek figure.
Except he is comedic.
Because he never takes things seriously.
Unless it affects him personally.

Hubris is his sigil.
With he guards with vigil.
I wish I were watching a Greek play.
Instead of this idiotic display.

But we can't go to the theater.
Can't even get near.
Any human being for fear.
Of transmission.

The danger would be far less.
If the emperor had seen fit to lead.
Instead of just thinking about his plate.
And what would make him look great.
