The Egotist

Posted on June 25, 2021 by sputterpub

You’re egotistical to take offense.Assuming disrespect does not make sense.Reacting to a statement that’s untrue,and doesn’t really have to do with you,just demonstrates your thinking’s somewhat dense.

Non-Compliance

Posted on June 12, 2021 by sputterpub

I thought I understood a lot of life.I figured others valued truth and fairattempts to win. I witnessed acts of strife,assuming bad in character was rare.I bent some silly rules without a care,but I expected morals to endure.I didn’t dream … Continue reading →
