Noticing Those Who Mock Others

When one perceives another to be,
Among those shallow...
That's when charades began.
A mission to an understanding begins.

Many choose to impress,
With an intelligence expressed.
And fools show their best efforts,
That lack signs of common sense.

And noticing those who mock others,
Find more time to socialize.
But have none of it,
To roll up their sleeves to get anything done.

While those that 'are' mocked,
Are generally the ones in spite of opposition...
Pursuing their wishes and dreams.
And it seems this is done in front of everyone.
