I Am Bored With Insincerity Contest

To those who simply try to impress 
I whisper Lord, cleanup this mess 
the more they brag and I pretend
I feel so stupid ........ joining in! 

 
Why do I smile when I don't care?
I feel so guilty... standing there
As diamonds sparkle on their hand
My love reflects a thin small band
 


It's time to change and avoid the fool
been a long time since middle school
So now politely... I walk away 
"Good to see you! Have a nice day!"

There is nothing wrong with just simple kindness and walking away-u have a Christ-like approach to dealing with this irritating behavior. Gwendolen
