How Many Angels...? Poem by DM W

How Many Angels...?



How many angels
Can dance on the point of a
Needle? ...Needless points;
Just wasting precious time;
Fiddling while Rome burns
To coin an essential phrase.
Grey, bureaucrats thrive.
Academic claptrap is
Now masquerading
As wisdom. These vain creatures
Cannot see the wood
For the trees. O I despair!
