The Usurper Poem by ENOCH JOHN

Where euphoria overrides commonsense and fools are exalted as kings;
Then more common becomes the common man as ignorance usurps the lofty places-
Thus becoming the Great Pretender who his silly fancies trumpet
From that high and exalted throne; such respectability and deceitful pomp! For wisdom to the mountains is flown and hides from the Great Pretender,
Who seeks to tarnish wisdom's purity.O wisdom! Wilt thou to the city return;
Wilt thou turn from the mountains and return? For at the mercy of the Usurper lies our heritage.
