ah you’re a cynic

said in that dismissive tone

that implies

you are wrong to feel this way

that they hold the high ground

have you? i ask

walked an inch

in these brogues

lifted a finger?

when all institutions

swarmed me

refused to comply

with their own

terms of service?

but no

being labelled a cynic

i knew he’d never dare

question anything outside

his own comfort zone

care for anybody but No.1

but he’d moved on

as they do when losing

these are the issues

when dealing with fools

they think only they

make the rules

i pulled him back

to earlier remarks

the hypocrisy of his rules

doing whatever he wanted

fuck anybody else

show me the higher ground?
