Explicit....Sociopathic....Symptoms Poem by James B. Earley

Satanic savior's rank behavior
"Paradise Fire"....the measure
Intentionally disparaging Paradise
"Four times" it brought him pleasure

In tragedy's wake pondering why
He'd show his face in town
....Town...now but...a memory
Paradise had just burned down

Some twisted way I heard him say
...The tone he seemed to treasure
Warned...he was wrong...he went right on
..Finding mockery in confusing "Pleasure"

I thought it all....one huge mistake
Though Pleasure twice he'd tread...
Once in Malibu truth came through
...Twice more the scoundrel said

Four times in all....singular afternoon
Having insulted fire ravaged victims
.....Filmed evidence of both events
Explicit...sociopathic....symptoms

*
Intentionally....disparaging Paradise
Four times it brought him pleasure
"Satanic savior's"...rank behavior
.....Paradise...Fire - the measure
