LIGHT VERSE
Duplicity vs. Sincerity
Duplicity bragged to sincerity: "I enjoy the
Company of many friends always adjusting
My face to their different demands, while you bear
Pain and betrayals for your truthfulness and honesty."
Sincerity then replied: "What a shameful travesty!
Your fake kindness is often used as a means to an end
Your primary focus is on your needs or personal stand
You manipulate others with flattery or guilt-tripping
With no accountability - it is like poison sipping
By your pretense and habitual lying
You don't respect others or treat them with dignity
For you abandoned moral code and valued integrity
You embrace gossip, drama and conditional friendliness
So, wearing social masks you are in - no readiness
For genuine friendship - your craftiness and
Shabbiness are utter unhappiness."
Hubris vs. Humility
Hubris was infuriated by humility
Saying: "Your unassuming nature
Respecting and forgiving others
Will not make you a winner!"
To which, humility replied:
"Oh, brother, when it comes to true
Learning you are not even a beginner!
You talk more than you listen
Demand attention and praise
Mislead and exploit others in countless ways
Possess aversion to criticism
And avoid accountability
Have excuses for your mistakes
Blames others with fixated hostility
You are eager to maintain a sense of power
Disregarding your final hour
You reject any helpful advice
Brother, you are on thin ice
You remain unreachable
And hence, altogether
Unteachable!"
