I am sickened and offended by the arrogant and the stupid who overcrowd the corners of the world. I have found myself lately, feeling hostile against the arrogant; those who take themselves too seriously, and expect everyone else to respond to them that way. We have all talked to people like this, and suffered by their words, actions, and convictions. It amazes me that even God would construct stupid people who believe their place in this world is one they make to be isolated, powerful, deceitful, and hurtful to those who believe they can do no wrong. I guess in this poem, I was thinking about all this, and I had two particular people in mind. One of whom is very high in official governmental ranking. The other is more contextual to my surroundings. I will let you figure out who they are. May you be as sick as I am about the arrogant and the stupid violating our intelligence and slicing it up to confuse us and believe them even more. Gutless men who want attention suck! More later...


at the angle of being seen into
10.03.06

the unbreakable bond between what is right and wrong
violates the opportunities to be vengeful against arrogance.
for arrogance is a vain way to live by words and actions.
it could speak of one’s desires or need to control content
and frustrate the unwilling, while maintaining a guard up.
the deceitful ways of this ironic disposition,
causes hurt and harm to be empowered from its ugliness.
it all reaps the innocence of so many spirits
while backing its fix of needing to be right in this war of life.
accepting it all without shame or remorse,
speaks to how evil can disguise itself in living day to day.
this waste of time is uncountable for the masses
who stretch out their fears and impending deaths,
waiting for the compassionate to take notice of them.
arrogance is boring in its appearance and worldly stamina,
even as it drives the socio-economic guzzlers another day.
the decayed and ignored are victims by this boorish agenda.
the fury of the arrogant threatens the futile peace
that could be…not in some dream or nightmare.
but for the here and now context of our futures.
we pay the inflated price of receiving the shallow pride,
indifferent to the problems the world bleeds out from.
the arrogant lack the shreds of empathy that build trust…
to find love, commit to passion, vision better lives for others.
wasted days of procrastinating the humanity needed feeds again.
lies of frail, mindless men stack the deck against their hunger.
such roles rank the vile outcomes of relief upon bare asses lifted high.
it is from that vantage point, that the arrogant are to be kissed
and left for dead in their most rotten of flesh suits they proudly wear.
