Self Righteous

You point your finger You laugh at our shame You boast of your body and lack judgment of fame You beg for attention And call it dimension You cry for acknowledgement And welcome any argument You blame everyone but yourself We are all wicked, We are all cruel, You fail to face humility and yet, we are the fool What a lonely life you lead When you’re always right And cause unity to secede Everyone is so self righteous Forgive me for naming the injustice Call me friend or call me foe It really doesn’t matter though When you’re the only one I see eating crow.
