Going The Other Way

You never quite understand the meaning
Of the word condescending
Until someone actually illustrates
Such attitude on you
Obviously oblivious or nonchalant
Of their arrogant self portrayal
But certainly unaware of or lacking insight
Most definitely lacking intelligence
At least in that aspect of human interaction
To showcase their lack of wisdom
Or social retardation

Otherwise it would be hard to explain
Why would anyone portray such
Self indignant attitude
That does nothing but illicit flagrant
Adjectives from the audience such as
"What an arrogant ____"
"Stupid ____"
"Idiot"
To describe such a person

Really there is nothing more detrimental
Or self cataclysmic than
To exhibit a condescending attitude
When the final outcome
Is equal or greater feeling
Going the other way
Unsaid

Such Foolishness

It is without doubt the

Most spectacular exhibition of

Human foolishness driven by 

Ego and pride that ultimately 

Leads one inevitably into

Self implosion and destruction

Oblivious to the whole picture

Having set their eyes on one 

Tiny spec on the canvas

Making a mountain out of a molehill

Unaware of imminent disaster

Such foolishness 

Not content with what is on the table

Not content with what is ahead

Digging and digging a deeper hole

Into the ground until from whence 

It is too late and too deep to get out

Owing to one fatal character of 

Not knowing when 

To stop

Aging Faster

Going faster
Always trying to go faster
As if going faster will save time
Leaving more time to
Do other things

Working faster
Always trying to work faster
As if working faster will be profitable
Earning more money to
Buy other things

Communicating faster
Always trying to communicate faster
As if communicating faster is better
Transferring more information to
Say other things

All the while

Slower and slower
Always trying to age slower
As if aging slower will result
In living longer

Faster everything except
Aging faster
A contradiction in
Relative cognition

To Utopian Society

Democracy is fair
Much better than communism
Dictatorship
Or anarchism

There is no better way
To satisfy and govern millions
Of people living inside a country
Giving power to the people

But it has one fundamental flaw
Perhaps dependent on the perspective
From which some may say it is
Not a flaw but rightful self determination

However it maybe perceived
The assumption that human beings
En masse will inherently self propagate
To utopian society

Or not even to that extent
But just make progress over time
No matter how slowly
To achieve that end

Is an assumption that
At best is only a hope
And at worst
A wishful thinking

When Providence Delivers

The problem is that
No one knows what
The other person is thinking
Even if they tell each other
All hours of the day

As one could be lying
But more often what they say
Is not quite what they are thinking
As most thoughts are
Out of touch with subconscious
Leaving the opponent guessing
Trusting
Hoping

Presuming the best if optimist
Presuming the worst if pessimist
No matter how close their relationship
Ought to have been worth something

All bets are off
All relationships worthless
Loyalty courtesy friendship out the window
And the only one standing
Stands wondering
Until that day

When providence delivers
