Have you become so ridiculous

That you justify your ill actions and commentary

With the blanket phrase…“I didn’t know.”?

~

Has age taught you nothing,

No process of discovery,

No method to discern.

~

Did your parents not instruct you well

In the virtue of restraint,

Knowledge of right and wrong,

In common courtesy?

~

You speak and act as if ignorant of the consequences;

Lobbing pain, physical and psychological haphazardly,

Without regard for the well-being of your victim.

~

Even in light of your blunders,

You deem your flaming rhetoric insignificant,

Offering no apology, no embarrassment, no sorrow.

~

Portraying yourself as the fool,

Friends and loved ones distance themselves,

Hoping you’ll see the error of your ways.

~
