Scanning the Twitter-verse,
Reading random tweets.
Not necessarily following my feed, but rather
Following a chain of people, a chain of thoughts.
One person leads to another, and this goes on until
The redundancy becomes absurd.
The degree of condescension seems high to extreme.
We humans have a need to put each other down.
Perhaps, it is a desire to place oneself above.
Many reach up by educating themselves, then assume
A patronizing stance. I’m up here, and you’re down there.
Sometimes in good fun, of course.
Not everyone falls into this trap, though it is all so easy to do.
A good laugh at someone else, mostly hidden behind their back,
Covered up in the guise of some other silly conversation.
All so smart, so superior, so cultured, definitely not native.
The need to condescend might come from a more deep-seated concern,
Possibly a weakness at one’s core, an uncertainty of one’s own worth.
The posturing of one’s ego holds one up above the rest.
No one wants an ‘average’ designation, and I include myself in this.
All these poses, guises, and masks give off an unauthentic air,
Or a pompous cloud that breeds contempt.
It is no wonder that the belligerent buffoon rises.
