The ARTifact Purloined

Plagiarist Collar

Alone besides the raven

Perched alongside the basin

A Lamenting aspiration

That's undoubtedly been shaken

Fixated once but now purloined

A masterpiece on tapestry

Behold a work bedazzling

A priceless gem worth capturing

This artist painting tarnished

By the carnage hatred vomits

Prideful weeds within the garden

Now parade with other knaves

Hostage bathed within the crudeness

Lecherous despite the hue That i commute

To and fro

They despise but they're deprived

Though bestowed a gift the maker

Of this realm the Legions savor

Do take heed to their faculty

A entourage with pearly teeth

Solely greed that they chauffeur

And sheepish clothes that they prefer

A nationalist of Pharisees

Unbeknownst to them that they are curs

Hypocrisy they polish blatantly

While they frolic

Hastily to their sanctuary

Their deity pay homage

Consuming spirits festive

Like a Hallmark card collective

Neglect the work administered

A plagiaristic collar
