Misanthrope Its sad when people undermine In poisoned action of design For reasons meant in tone to hurt Acid action of words written curt A motive that is unexplained By themselves - they are shamed For cowards way in bramble cut And doors of decency are shut Treat with respect and pleasure find When in turn you are undermined Cast your mind to recollection Hold yourself to inner inspection For fortune favours fair approach Petty barbs stand by reproach Remember those that you cause pain Insincere, with motives vain. |
