    I based this satire on the virtues that the ancient Celts (and many contemporary Celts as well) view as sacred. Some may not agree with this. It is my personal opinion. This is one of those satires where the subject remains nameless but recognizable through the description. Flidais, maybe you could refresh my memory on the name of that kind of satire? It fits into the category of Tar Molta somewhere.

    Honor of two-sided mirror,
    Loyalty of greedy rat,
    Hospitality of starvation and thirst,
    Honesty of broken smile,
    Justice of crooked blade,
    Courage of absent heart,
    Your white house is stained
    With war's gory glory
    Red blood for black oil
    Safe within your ivory walls
    Old man commands death
    Blind to his own shame
    Oblivious. Insane.
