Hitch 22 revisited

Hitchens was an agnostic

He called Mother Teresa names

He called Kissinger names

It's great and good to call Kissinger names

But Kissinger is a kind of rhino

Who enjoys people calling him names-

He's as armour plated, if not so short sighted

Hitchens called Clinton names

And Mrs. Clinton too

He said he was also inhaling or maybe not inhaling in Oxford

Standing next to Clinton

Hitchens drank

Hitchens smoked

Hitchens was gonzo without admitting it

A bit homosexual without being that into fucking men

He was very ethical without acknowledging the presence of God

In his life

In the world-

Still it is difficult to encounter a more Godly man

Even if you've not ever met him

If you look at these things in terms of intellectual honesty

And truth be told.
