Inflating Dwarfs

No man born can set you free
Tiny mewling tyranny
Loathsome words, repugnant form
Brag and scrape and pray and fawn

I speak of what will be
You among their company
Puffery and stuffy pride
What are you but a child

Teach us what all this means
Sacrificed to calumny
Bear it lightly, recognize
The thief of fire
