Complete exploitation of relationship

There is no happy way

to disengage with them.

There is ripping the bandaid

And not worrying about the outcome

Never a reciprocating gesture

Nor a give and take, mutually

There is only one way of things

oblige and operate perpetually,

In every aspect of life, there are

Many demands of sorts.

Not once is offered, anything

close to a remorse

Use and throw brutally

there is no emotion attached

Only when there is a need

There's an effort to stay latched.

Prompt:24 

The art of condescending

They stick up their noses

at every failure of others

They laugh in derision

every time someone falters.

They point fingers in abandon

Deeming themselves free of blame,

They don ' t realize that four of

those fingers direct at their shame.

Their brood are examples

Of excellence in every field

Others, however, are scoffed at

for any skills that they wield.

They judge every measure of action

of the people all around them

Never once, do they look into

Their own sins before they condemn. 

Prompt - Poetic Asides

Poem of Origin

I am from the right path

Never to be strayed

I am from the strong

emotions are not displayed.

I am the heir of values

of the greatest kind

I am from the people

claiming the sharpest mind.

I am supported

by generations of piety

I am held up in good stead.

by not quantity but quality

An upkeep of these lofty

Ideals calls forth,

Of rising beyond ordinary

And of mindful things doth.
