Silence and a raised Eyebrow

Disheveled old man,

No doubt you make three times as much as I do

Disheveled old man,

Rub your face play with your glasses

Drinking coffee sweet as molasses



Observing from afar, you pass judgment

With silence and a raised eyebrow

Silence and a raised eyebrow

Silence and a raised eyebrow





Disheveled old man,

Why does your book keep better company

Than the people of the world can be?

Disheveled old man,

With all your years of wisdom

You don’t have a queen in your kingdom?



Observing from afar, you pass judgment

With silence and a raised eyebrow

Silence and a raised eyebrow

Silence and a raised eyebrow
