I look down at my life incomplete
Sighing deep within I concede
Satire of a life so rudely condescending...

Slash me with the sharpest sword,
Strike me with the minor chord, 
From condescending, cutting word me spare.

MY CAT LAYS IN MY LAP-

the cat sat on my lap 
the condescending, crusty cat sat on my lazy, large lap

Defending 

the condescending 

Can you hear me screaming?

I’m dreaming

 Of reality

Of hospitality 

Of something so out of reach

Can you hear me preach?...

Here kitty, kitty
No! wait to stop that
Scat cat
the condescending, contented cat sat on my hideous, hilarious hat

Condescending and Ascending 

What disturbances on are depending,
Will always be direction of ascending;
Will be rising;
Not surprising;
Confusion added when condescending.

he sits so smug 
       and condescending there

in his ergonomic, black
       leather chair

behind a slab of tinted
       plexiglass

on stainless-steel, to him
       a touch of class....

Trump With Supporters Travels

Trump with supporters likes to travel;
Gets on our nerves and does unravel;
On self is depending;
Never condescending;
Needs to be hit in head with a gavel.

Being Condescending While Offending

Trump constantly can be condescending;
What he did has always been offending;
Become obscure,
Do wish for sure,
And us into tizzy he ended up sending.

Condescending heights banish fast
mirrored nature, underestimates
pure beauty exposed by its past
still clarity anticipates,
awaiting the circle of life-
subsiding essence, cut with a knife....

She says bow down before me and I will be your friend,
She will talk to me only if she can condescend.
With no hesitation she will try to put me in my place,
This is not a friend… or someone with any grace....

You needn't be a visionary
To spout your verse from a dictionary
Ignore all of those recommending
That your lyrics need seem condescending
To yourself you must stay true
For the masses, I'm sure, would rather know you....

Wait until Bray comes, they warned me in a condescending way.
He will dive into the Christmas Tree from far, far away.
I thought it was silly of them and did a crazy sashay.
The next ting I knew, I was dive bombed by Elf Antics Bray....

Split sensation, condescending muzzle- quieting my inhibition. Steel drum, wooden 
stick- conjoin, raising heaven and hell, tearing apart the mists that conceal the truth. 
Perfection, insanity rearing its beautiful head- setting me free...

CAT

A cat, unshy,
Will wander by
Eyeing with curiosity
The abject, bending,
Condescending
Object it perceives as me.
I bow and scrape
From knee to nape
Hoping to gain its amity,
But though I try
To win it, I
Know it still thinks 
The worst of me....

Two old codgers in rocking chairs
Half time talking, half time stares

Reminiscing about their life
Integration of peace and strife

Will I now be condescending
Maybe to the point of offending

No, that's not the way it will be
Because one old codger is me!...

His poison smile makes me want my own death
madness runs through my veins with his every breath
I house a stream of anxiety unending
I cry out but hear only his words, condescending
I pray to a god that I don't believe in
don't keep me alive if you have no reason....

One word after another type paralysed;
With his words my heart he prized.
Broken with dazed disbelief,
From this bandit, standard thief.
How can one begin to foster-
A condescending crock, imposter? 
In the beginning he was never cruel,
Now the end I'm such a dunce....

You scream at me with contention
O' did I mention
I am forgiving yet also retaining
You're condescending
Aforementioned
With your attitude
I'm instill within forgiving
Yes, forgiving I am retaining

was that a wink or a blink?
I asked the squirrel inside my sink.
he bared his teeth, his gums were pink.
my husband stopped to take a drink.

squirrel today, last week a mink.
whatever will my sainted mother think?
she will cut her visit short, I said with a wink.
squirrel gave me a condescending blink....

Listen to poem:

Enough I have, 
but more, would make do, better still.
Sufficing without icing is a nice thing to do,
but ample sufficiency is defeat, a condescending deceit.
For we all want bigger apportioned portions.
Want more than our fair share of the hearty fare.
Making do is so hard to do, but so easy to see through....

A storm is brewing on my forehead 
 formed of sweat and dust
Rising passion meets the volatility
 of a condescending mind
A thrust of bottled up frustration
 releases fumes of mental rust
Powerful turbulence of breakdown
 in communication takes wind
The dynamics of emotion renders
 our reasoning capacity blind...

ABSTRACT REALITY

It’s torture…Abstract Reality,
To acknowledge
The possibility
of past memories
Of loved ones
When they're gone,
Maybe more 
Comforting,
Endearing
and
Nourishing
Than their
negative
indifferent
condescending
presence.
