Anomie of Ingratitude

It comes hard to the
understanding through
repeated experience like
an exercise in living, colourful
human emotions and
exasperating ameliorations
that the reality simply is that
there are those for whom
life in all its unexpected turns
and exigencies remains a
self-defeating exercise
in futility. They cannot and
will not find comfort
in the steadfastness of those
who love them, choosing to
flail at their efforts, the
living embodiment of denial,
going on to curse the fate
that assaults them at every
wrong turn they prefer,
exercising their free choice
to flout responsibility
insisting on their
pre-ordained path to
self-destruction.
