Man Of Vanities Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

Your tail's the sun ablaze,
Chieftain Iffucan of Azcan
‘In caftan of tan, henna hackles
Universal cock, halt'.

Down to earth but this earth?
Vanity's pride, sophistication lie,
A piece of black.

On your ‘subject's' size zero -
In sun tan. You ten foot tall
And the inchlings beneath ‘eye wear',
And opposite to vulgar.

You might wear beauty
The skinny tans, still ‘blazes beauty'.
