Emblems of Deceit

Caduceus
The Staff of Mercury

paste can mimic fine jewels

but the bald face of liars

can’t mask its secretion

of prehensile bullshit

that burrows

in furrows

of bag sagging jowls

featured prominently

in the field

on the shield

below heraldic crest

where honor would normally

lozenge its chivalrous charge

giving loud

and proud

warning to those who don’t know

your caduceus serpents

are just as deceitful

pretending as healers

while hiding their trueborn

mercurial role as

protectors of liars and thieves

by the way

should anyone ask

please feel free to inform them

this new coat of arms

for a doctor who harms

was designed

by a patient you

left worse than dead

namely me
