Serenity (of The Smug)

Serenity of The Smug

the breezy manner

that accompanies

Good Fortune

The knowing smile,

shared,

that says, “We have it all.”

(and you don’t.)

Untouchable

No surprises

Dark deeds

easily erased

Oh, it’s good to be us.

Such security

of the mind

Protection

of the body

Absence

of heart

We don’t abide

The have-nots

It’s their fault, anyway.

They didn’t work hard

enough

They are lazy

They don’t come from

good stock

We deserve everything

we have

God has smiled upon us

We are blessed

And you are f**ked

(google image – John Barrymore as “Svengali”)

You are the best at everything
You are God
but are too humble to admit it
most of the time

You have so much going on
we couldn’t possibly understand

You don’t want to bring us negative energy,
you say,
but you do anyway

You love us so much
We are “family”
but you don’t treat us that way

You come into our home
and take what you please
Of course you can,
you have the key

You never say “thank you”
or “please”

You hate liars

You are not who you say you are

You are Svengali

We were your slaves

We were suckers

but we know now

We will heal ourselves

and move on

Will you?
