Some people can be
their own worst enemy.
Frequently, they tend to call attention
To their gross
incompetence and act
Amazed when they're
surrounded by dissension.
Perhaps it's just
that they're oblivious
To their
surroundings, or they do not care
About matters not
involving them.
They're caught up in
their grand self-love affair.
Their stratagem
relies on subterfuge.
To achieve all their
desires, they deceive.
Their focus isn't at all on what to give,
But rather on how
much they'll receive.
One wonders if
they'll ever pay the price
Of brushing off
intelligent advice.
Being their own
worst enemy, such people
Love to play the
victim or the martyr.
Would it even faze
them if friends said,
"You know, we
really thought that you were smarter"?
How they love to
catapult themselves
Into a situation and
then claim
That everybody's out
to get them! Then,
"Poor me!"
they cry out as they pass the blame.
The words
"empathy" and "understanding"
Aren't a part of
their vocabulary.
If you don't agree
with what they say,
Then you become
their hateful adversary.
What would it take
to make it clear
That they themselves
are what they ought to fear?
