In Need Of Immediate Amendment

What makes some people believe,
They have achieved...
Above reproach status?
Or conduct directly attributed to them,
That is blameworthy.
And in need of immediate amendment.

With an approval expected for things done they do,
They accuse others for being their enemies too.
And those they fingerpoint to accuse as their abusers,
Are repeatedly selected...
Not for their misdeeds,
But for ignoring those who dwell with a focus...
Upon their own insecurities.

What makes some people believe,
They have achieved...
Above reproach status?
Or conduct directly attributed to them,
That is blameworthy.
And in need of immediate amendment.

Could it be...
Folks are so accustomed,
With a providing to them an avenue of empathy...
Where a pity for their self indulgences is condoned.
And an exchange of bad habits,
Is quicker to accept than admitting weaknesses exists.
