Losing is not born from honesty. <br />Those who are honest... <br />Realize they can not always win. <br />Those who do anything to win, <br />View themselves as losers. <br />They blame others for their failures. <br />Provoked fights are started. <br />Lies are told. <br />They ban together... <br />Sometimes in darkness. <br />With attacks they wish to feed their greed, <br />And insecurities. <br />They have needs to prove their superiority. <br />They will do anything to be believed! <br />Deceit can not keep them hidden. <br />Everything is lost! <br />Even a pride and dignity once had, <br />Becomes worthless! <br />They wish for happiness. <br />But 'that' within them, <br />Has never been defined. <br />They have no patience in their minds. <br />No time is spent for it to be developed. <br />They are engulfed with pointless pleasures. <br />And listening is a thing they have never done. <br />They view that as weak. <br />Nothing for them is gained. <br />And whatever was possessed, <br />Has ceased to be valued! <br />An increase of depression is confessed. <br />Leaving them to self destruct. <br />They label what they do... <br />And what has been done as an overview, <br />As a recession from misdeeds.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
