DERIDED

Those who go looking for disappointment

Are destined to find it

It is abundant and everywhere

One can’t even hide it

Dreams are ever hopeful

Yet reality is blighted

By the truth of disdain

Who’s only aim is misguided

Dislocated

Dissociated

Remonstrated

“Kindness”

Is just a veiled form of hate

A pretty face

‘Til alighted

Smiling faces

Are used to disguise it

Until intentions

Reveal

Then truth is derided.
