Analysis of Leading Incompetence
Wipe the smirk off your face,
you hypocrite that's here to take
just pretending that you share so much:
you've dropped mints for god's sake!
On a lesser merit than a meager dee
you came along but not to see.
Have you ever given it a single thought,
exchange of ideas might be what's sought?
Your smile is false, it's there for you
to miserly mask and just protect
the weight you've granted to yourself
by godforsaken disrespect.
