Right Again

Right Again
Though they forgive vast blunders every day,
They’ll never let you off for being right.
You said what no one should have dared to say.
You shook the liars from their bogus height.
You filled the long-tamed sky with sudden light.
You merited the stolid punishment
They’ve meted out to you. The pointless flight
You made against their clouds has only sent
New obfuscations rolling in. Relent
They cannot – and they wouldn’t if they could.
Yes, you were in the right – and they resent
Just that, foul scandal in a neighborhood
Where error is the only firm foundation.
They curse you and your canny cogitation.
-Tom Riley
