excuses

you’re not used to this is how you testify?

woe to thee who asked for ease to be denied!

since you’re better than others and cannot believe otherwise

i have no sympathy if that’s your reply

i don’t care if you’re levitating insufferably high

everyone deserves respect regardless of how stratified

kindness isn’t stupid, it’s beautifully dignified

if you can’t see that then you’re unqualified

to be of those I declare compassionately legitimized

if you were truly great you wouldn’t resort to abuses

you’d be who you are no matter how many uses

and while i believe in doing what one so reasonably chooses

my sympathies are immune to your pompous excuses
