Sincerely Expressed

Even in the midst,
Of being presented with their failures...
They have become stubbornly defensive.
As if there is an obligation for them,
To remain decisively opposed to anything...
That directs them out of their predicaments.

And anyone 'hinting' of any insight and intelligence,
Immediately offends them to no end.
Making it extremely difficult to make sense of any of this,
For those with hopes to produce results...
To pretend that their patient efforts sincerely expressed,
Has not been a waste of time or a loss of sanity.
