Supercilious
Sometimes we are cruel
Sometimes we are unjust
Sometimes we say hurtful things
and wonder why the sudden lack of trust.
Sometimes we fake an apology
Not because we feel remorse
But because it's better to save face
Than to be ignored
We talk so much about others
Refusing to see faults of our own.
We forget to be kind to one another
and as evidence has shown
We fancy ourselves infallible
'Til our weaknesses are made known
Then we weep the desperate weep
'Cause we are then forced to stroll through life alone
