Is it just me? <br />Am I the only one left believing, <br />No one can be taught integrity? <br />Or meet a thief to teach, <br />The basics of honesty. <br />And when that is applied? <br />While listening to the use of their alibis. <br /> <br />If someone denies, <br />A personality flaw... <br />That is clearly out of hiding. <br />And infuses it as a mechanism, <br />To further attempt... <br />They are trying to convince, <br />They are dealing with it. <br />Only to reveal a deepened lack of common sense. <br />Or a pretense, <br />They await an allowance of a consent... <br />For an intention meant. <br /> <br />Is it just me? <br />Observing a waste of time unneeded? <br />Or am I being too sensitive... <br />In not allowing myself to comprehend, <br />People who use excuses over and over again... <br />Do so because they are sincere. <br />And not the disrespectful, <br />Human beings they appear to be? <br />Afterall, <br />Why should I be the only one to be appalled? <br /> <br />And I should apologize for any offensive remarks I make, <br />By bringing this to their attention. <br />And let them walk all over me, <br />As a defense to protect what I am not understanding! <br />And instead of complaining when someone steps on my toes... <br />I should allow this as an exception? <br />And hop on one foot! <br /> <br />I should also demand free entry into Disney World as well! <br />That should solve all of the issues I have, <br />With the breakdown of all social dysfunctions!<br /><br />Lawrence S.
