Even Their Pretensions Have a Sadness

Things have become so bad for them!
Even their pretensions have a sadness.
And to watch them today charade their masquerades,
Is a blessing for those who received their turned up noses.
And poses of materialistic influence,
Kept in a shallowed chic!
An appeal they teased with zest and zeal!
Keeping things real is the lesson here!
Falling down that ladder now...
Has become a lot more public.
And some people who have lied,
To maintain their fractured domains...
With an accomodating nastiness to others.
Will always display those of false powers,
As having nothing real about them at all!
Except the use of decaying spoiled tantrums,
That is driving disgust to new heights,
And low tolerance for these bloodless weasels.
Since anyone with any true power...
Have come to realize,
It does not have to be seen to be felt!
Or delivered...
With props to intimidate.
Somehow those techniques kept feet on the ground.
However...
Every once in a while a belt swinging mama,
Had to prove a point that became quickly understood.
Those lessons for many of us,
Were taught very early in life!
While others apparently were disciplined to feed,
A mindless greed...
Successfully expediting their own downfall!
