Legend And Legacy

Wallace Dean LaBenne

His legend is a fantasy. His fable is aslant.
His story is a tragedy.
His epic is askant.

His anger is a legacy. His fury is behest.
His hatred is a subsidy.
His evil is bequest.

His legend is a mystery. His mischief is a harm.
His ardor is vile history.
His temper is alarm.

His stealing is a legacy. His lying is disdain.
His cheating is disloyalty.
His cunning is inane.

His legend is a legacy. His legacy is brash.
His legend is a fakery.
His legacy is trash.
