Hypocrisy Sonnet

To a magpie, gorging upon naked table; 
and to a deerfly, speeding with greedy zoom; 
What fine feast of left-outs and day-olds 
has entreated your beating wings and imbued 
your maneuvers with shards and unstable 
thwarts at far fewer marks than our 
bleeding bards can consume? 
I cannot see which the wind may pull, 
but I can tell you I see what you do.
Magpie and Deerfly, you are both on my list 
of things to rebel, revolt and resist 
against, and again! you bite at my neck 
and you rape of my hand.
If this violence persists, I'll drop pen and grab sand.
I'll throw dirt-balls at you and your pestilent crew
and make off with the crumbs that you scammed.
