Best Peoplebetrayal Poems


Spineless

.

To you who truly 
treasure self-respect,
has there been a humiliating 
instance

when to succumb low, 
and sheepishly so,
to public opinion's 
preponderance

is neither a betrayal 
of your worth
nor a slap to your reason's 
countenance?

Do you spinelessly go,
float with the flow
of popular passion and 
circumstance?

Floating With the Flow

To you who truly treasure self-respect,
has there been a humiliating 
instance

when to succumb low, and sheepishly so,
to public opinion's 
preponderance

is neither a betrayal of your worth
nor a slap to your reason's 
countenance?

and spinelessly you go, float with the flow
of popular passion and 
circumstance?
