An Old Sexgate: Measure For Measure Poem by Paolo Giuseppe Mazzarello

An Old Sexgate: Measure For Measure

Rating: 5.0


The city's lights turn off and Sexgate turns on.
The President of Imaginary Vienna Limited
Will become spy of himself and everybody.
Instead of him, the Chief Executive Officer will sack the redundancies.
Warning to the employees involved in sex affairs.
Suddenly we crave a building in the dark Verona,
Lights illuminate the yonder window where Juliet goes to and fro.
In the city's skyscraper the management will end up in sexual abuses.
In the ways of Verona one spends his time another way.
The management won't be able to hear the nightingale's song.

Interesting depiction... I've seen Juliet's tomb and see the lover's tree. How amazing that you brought the whole place bang up to date with today's scandals! HG: -) xx

'Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall' Shakespeare, Measure for Measure. Very interesting reference to Shakespeare`s time. If only he could write about the present day. The poem is both - modern and nostalgic and very well penned in my humble opinion. On/Off-elia :)
