Haters Wish For Praise



Haters wish to be praised,
For a doing of it to get attention.
But to mention to ask them,
What have others done...
To have earned the attention,
That to them comes.
Haters can only say,
The only way they can be mentioned...
Is to be noticeably fools.
And who is it that can admit,
Not to witness fools...
Making idiots of themselves.
On a daily basis as if paid for it!

'Why do folks like that act so stupid?'

'Either from inheritance.
Or a monthly allowance.
However...
Only you and I can only afford,
Pay the consequences to stay ignorant!'

'Uh...
Not that I am being,
Sensitive or offended.
But...
Can you use another analogy.
That is more inclusive?
And not exclusively shared.'

'Come on.
You know what I mean!'

'No I don't.
You looked directly at me,
As if I am more stupid than you are!'

'I don't believe you are making,
This into an argument.
When it isn't.
Okay.
I apologize.
Which one do you prefer I call you?
