Center Of Attention

Doesn't it seem as if,
The one most opinionated...
As to who should do what to get things done,
Is seldom the one to show proof of doing anything...
Others can criticize.

People will lie on others when given the opportunity.
Especially if another is conveniently absent.

With a doing without an equal and shared mutual expertise,
That is exchanged in public in the presence of another accused...
As quickly as those opinions by one are given?
Usually it's just that one verbally attacking behind another's back.
Isn't it?

People will lie on others when given the opportunity.
Especially if another is conveniently absent.

Loving to be the center of attention without being interrupted.
And proving to have an ability to do it!
To boost one's acceptance and appeal.
While keeping one's insecurities from being revealed.
Even though this can not remain concealed without being exposed.

People will lie on others when given the opportunity.
Especially if another is conveniently absent.
