What do you think this poem is about?

I DO NOT ENVY YOU

Harlots graces your court
Bring wrath upon you bed.
You 're the liner that covers
Her nakedness.
The Knight that shares her
Shames
But I do not envy you
Light always goes before
Darkness
Your night is at hand
Alas,
pray if you will ever tell
a story.

Poet's Notes about The Poem

Government is the man I do no envy, politicians 're the harlots whose wickedness, fraud, assassination, embezzlement and cross misconduct has plucked the nation in the nightmare we re having today.
