Doing Their Best To Save Face

Doing their best to save face.
Even if that means...
Continuing to disgrace themselves.
Or place the blame for their mistakes,
On someone else.
It is a pattern that has decreased,
A credibility...
Slipping away.
And very close to ceasing.
As a quality of life,
Slides from an existence.
They insist their troubles...
Are not of their creation!
