Shameless Braggadocio



A pretentiousness nearing,
The beginning...
Of its flip-flopping end.
Appears on the scene to be seen,
For its meaningless shallowness.
And followed,
By those hollow of consciousness.
Absent of common sense.
Dropped to the bottom of pits.
Where their shameless braggadocio,
Finally comes to sit to become...
A purposeless to rot nonsense.

And the ones victimized...
To have had told lies about their lives lived,
Deceived yet believed...
By critics, lost friendships.
With broken gone to never mend to heal,
Again.
Families as they were to remember them.
The ones intentionally victimized...
Will come to witness and see,
How God works in mysterious ways.
To expose those who chose wickedness,
With a choosing of unrelentless corruption.
And lies to tell to ruin themselves!
Now to seek forgiveness and empathy given.

'We were just joking with you.
Can't you take a joke?'

'Of course, I can.
I'm laughing now.
In a conservative kind of way!
Although...
Surprised I am,
My doing of it you have not noticed.
Wassup with that?
I've been waiting for a very long time,
To laugh this hysterically.'

'Are you being sarcastic?'

'Were your jokes meant to be laughed at?
Or with?
Either way,
You should by now be familiar...
With your teaching me to do both.
What did you expect from me?
Blaming accusations?
Tears?
Are you kidding?
Me? Sarcastic?
I'm loving every moment,
Of your enlightening insightful performance!'
