Self Righteous Pedestal

Here I stand before you Searching for answers To questions I cannot perceive Trying earnestly to comprehend The bitterness in your heart The absence of humility in your soul How you amuse yourself Believing that disingenuous Acts of goodness Will somehow prevent the world From seeing you for who you truly are Why you work so diligently To hold others back To set up obstacles and landmines Only to make yourself feel better For only a soul that can never be trusted Will find it impossible to trust another Why should I swim against the currents To satisfy your illusions of peace Watching you abuse Your miniscule authority Lie, cheat, and deceive Yet stand on your self righteous pedestal As the self appointed keeper of this castle Here I stand before you Free of all the bitterness that consumes you Free of all the pettiness that inspires you And ultimately, free of all the poison That will one day come back to destroy you Create Date : Thursday, December 25, 2008 Mustafa Marconi
