Oblivious Idiot

They play juvenile games.

It’s all about them.

They leave in their wake

Nauseous waves of mayhem.

They hijack your life,

Think that everything’s free.

Are oblivious to the anguish

They cause you and me.

Behind lies and laughter

They hide their distress,

Causing havoc and then

We must clean up their mess.

And vacancy lights shine

So bright in their eyes

They can’t see for looking --

Everything’s a surprise!

They’ll steal your money

Make promises bold,

Then break every one

Leaving you in the cold.

And they won’t understand

What it is they did wrong.

They’ll just shoot you a wink

And that ol’ dance and song.

Cos nothing’s their fault.

Perfect victims are they

Blaming everyone else

For what grief comes their way.

So, beware of the

Oblivious idiot you see.

Run from them, don't walk,

If you want to be free.

It seems I've had a rash of dealings lately with people who just don't have a clue how their actions, and non-actions, take a toll on the lives of people around them. Yesterday I'd had enough and this poetic rant surfaced.

There ... got that out of my system.

Cheerz!
