Insulting
I can not believe,
The magic of your artistry.
Your ability to capture vivid images...
Is something I have never seen.
And the depth and scope,
Of your comprehension of the craft...
Should not be kept to yourself.
You have an audience out there,
Unprepared to be enthralled within your grasp.
YOU are a 'genius'.
'Why don't you come out and say it?
What you see is a bunch of crap.
You think I am 'that' sensitive?
And you use reverse psychology,
Believing any insulting comments...
Will hurt and shatter me in disbelief?
Tell me what you 'really' think.'
Okay.
I will.
I can not believe,
The magic of your artistry.
Your ability to capture vivid images...
Is something I have never seen.
Now...
If you want me to say that,
In a more insulting way...
I'll do my best.
Because I 'know' I am blessed with talents as well.
Do you want me to give it another try?

Insults of Nuts
The insults of nuts,
Grows alarmingly steady!
Actions studied...
To divide their own self interests.
With mocking digressions,
From the desks of professionals...
Reflects the very best
How they upset their nests
Back slapping 'nappy' jokes,
In achieved grotesque comments
About whores in jest!
And in the mind that finds this just,
Is a deep seated need to lure
Others who will abuse
With the same driving lust.
But trust has been busted!
People of all kinds have become disgusted.
Money chases away common sense...
When people become convinced,
They are above reproach!
Until luxuries to offend the defenseless...
Come with reprimand and end! €||: -Þ

Integrity
My integrity is not for sale.
Nor is the truth that fills my soul
To be bargained away.
No matter how high their noses rise,
In polluted air...
I'm breathing freedom that releases me.
I am not contained within their confinement.
I 'may' miss a meal,
However...
Most of that junk that's being fed...
Wouldn't nourish me anyway!

Integrity and Backbone
Priorities invested in the physical attributes of things,
And those who place their long lasting impressions...
Upon material appearances supporting their self importance,
Belong to the ones doing the best they can...
To pool their pretensions...
Into locales where deceptions are still praised for what they are.
Since truth alone is on a mission!
And has come to devastate and devalue,
Their mental securities...
Based purely on materialism.
And these folks know how fake their realities have been.
It has become too obvious...
That the absence of integrity and backbone,
Has not been added to the foundation of their achievements!
Nor recognized as something to accomplish.
And with masquerade they continue their run!
But to where?
Too many have become aware of their failed antics.
