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."

DISHONESTY VS HONESTY

Dishonesty was laughing at honesty

Saying: " I got my way; live in a mansion

Enjoy luxury, get exorbitant pension

My bank account is plenty full."

Honesty replied: "You reckless fool!

You had always hidden motives

Used deceit, loved duality

Prioritized comfort over reality

Enshrined banality over finality

Never admitted you were wrong

To futility, void realm you belonged

Never had moral sense,

Through sustained pretense

Never had real friends

Not even shadow of guilt

So, you nothing

Achieved or built."

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

Blame 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!"

APATHY VS EMPATHY

Apathy challenged empathy

Asking: "Why do you care?

The steady concerns you bear,

Sleepless nights, difficult efforts

Just to remain toward others fair,

While I stay quiet in my old dusty chair."

Empathy retorted: "Beware!

You refused to create connections

Neither mature nor gained

Helpful insights through

Friendships or even rejections

You stayed in an empty shell

Of avoidable loneliness

When you chose laziness   

And capably escaped 

A dose of true happiness."
