Observation

Do not think you have used me without my knowledge.
Or that my silence is a sign of approval to be duped.

I have been aware of your activities,
The moment you began your snooping...
With a degarding of me you wish to succeed.
Why you have chosen me to proceed with misdeeds,
Has become a standard you value.
I waste no time with those who are fools.

However,
In that moment you began to degrade my efforts...
Was the beginning of your slide downhill.

I always tell those I don't know...
Be careful who you disrespect.
The power of the mind is a power undefined...
When one chooses to use it,
In ways unsuspected!
When ignorance is detected.

'The mind is a terrible thing to waste'
Is much more than a cliché just spoken.

Those who know that are patient!
Those who know that are elated.
Knowing who is on the list,
To receive a payback!

And it happens without fail,
For the one who prevails!
And seeks comprehension,
With a higher consciousness not mentioned.
And the use of observation that decreases tension!
