Thou art so conniving You conspire to purge me of my sense of reasoning Leaving me bare to suffer the perils of an incongruous world Belittled by all and sundry Or how else do you explain a scenario where The words I am sorry are too heavy a spittle To be spoken to a loved one to whom I’ve wronged Severing a lifelong relation in the process Could be am being too ******* you And that you are so patronisingly benevolent Condescendingly overseeing my rise up the social ladder Trouncing and prancing on the shrewd and their kind Either way I salute your ingenuity Indeed keep up the uncanny spectacle.
