straw man

straw man
where are you now ?

your cock-sure bluster
has mercifully faded
into empty wisps
of bluff and dust

straw man
where are you now ?

what seemed the heart
of a mighty beast
reveals itself as barren chaff
strewn to the fickle winds

straw man
where are you now ?

your once fearsome roar
now less than a hollow echo
serves well and true
by it's welcome absence

straw man
where are you now ?
