Excuses For 'Dick-Ta-Tor-Ship' - the Short Man Syndrome

Height is not an issue But today I got introduced to a nasty verbal stew It was this one bullish kind of comment Of odium and torment Initially I thought, it was human nature Coming from a relative who is short in stature The tyrant venting with a curse A sheer case of moral shortsightedness ‘Conquer the whole world and lose your own soul’ Egoistic pride becoming his ultimate goal I wish He could really be a mentor For when there is troubling waters, he steers the young to the shore His ignorance makes me very very angry I pray that of this treacherous plot, I am set free If I were not 'born again' in Christ and he were a watermelon I swear my words would have been a sharp knife and his mouth a cracked gallon Spider-man, he definitely is not Being a woman, I Wonder why he insists on making Fijian ‘lovo’ in a foreign pot My family counselor said ‘it is the short man's syndrome’ Bullshit! Sheer ignorance; fact is, from childhood, he hasn't mentally grown.

Thank you WW. Carrying a grave load ain't ideal for sure. This is me just ranting at a paternal uncle who has an issue with me changing my religion from Hinduism to Christianity. Forgiveness starts at home but very hard at the moment as he doesn't stop his anti-religious comments in any forum that I write/speak in; I am glad he isn't here thus I can vent freely lol.
