Disdain Dizain

Disdain can be so hurtful and baseless. So hard to renew prestige once tarnished. Derision, sneering in reply useless, As disdain on disdain, with brush varnished Only adorns contempt with scorn garnished. Better to outflank to prove your true worth In common ground dug over to unearth A new campaign where seeds already sown Can yield reputation and worth rebirth Freed of need to moan and atone, alone.
