Satire In Pieces Poem by Raj Arumugam

Satire In Pieces



I wrote a piece of satire
making fun of grandeur -
so I wrote:
"No one is my equal;
no one is my peer
My worth outshines all"

But many took it literally
and castigated me for
such arrogance and stupidity
There was so much fuss
so I went to read my satire again:
"No one is my equal;
no one is my peer
My worth outshines all"

This time indeed, like everyone else,
I could see no satire
