Grutch Grudgers

There are those who believe they have rights to offend.
They believe they are above others...
With a righteousness bestowed upon them,
From birth!
As a token of God's 'wisdom'...
In ceremonies conducted,
By the best of hand-me-down mythology!

However...
When people like that,
Are put into their proper places.
They become vicious with attacks.
As if no one has the right to pay them back.
Or think nothing of their backstabbing ways,
Garnered from traditions that kept their acts praised.
And when this is done...
Venom flows from their tongues!
Like drunken sailors,
Wishing for more...
Than masturbating weekend furloughs!

To leave everyone to know...
They are not below,
Showing the depths of a shallowness...
That describes their character best!
Leaving them scarred,
With personalities they keep with beliefs...
They are above receiving what they have delivered.
Grutch grudgers are these munchins of kept and petty wishes!
Harboring desires they are secretly admired,
By a deluded self importance implanted by twisted minds.
Who believe they too,
Are above reproach when slighting another's dignity!
