Pathetic You

Such unmitigated spite, oh world

of virtuous pretense. Does your

satisfaction in life really depend

on denigrating those few whose

moral compass so far eclipses yours

whose values and purpose in life

so much superior to yours

whose actions and the genius

among them capable of presenting

to the world at large advances in

the humanities, arts and science 

breakthroughs in discovery and

solace in the beauty of their vision

so adamantly piques your resentment

that you prefer to condemn and revile

even while enjoying the fruits of their

intellect and aesthetic in the pretense

of your superiority to that of the 

authenticity of a people's genius you

heap with negativity. Woe, pathetic you.
