7. loyalty

i live quietly,
but best believe
i see the signs,
take note of the energy,
watch all the fakes,
how they’re pampered,
made to believe
they’re the ones
doing it right,
no accountability,
just a shower of gifts,
while the rest compete
for slim pickings
because they don’t get
the pedestal.

punish the good
and reward the bad,
pamper them
with hugs and kisses
and a pat on the back,
no matter how much
they harass,
the double standard
is laughable,
treated like they
saved the world
when all they were
was toxic,
treat them like royalty
and kick away
the genuine ones.

what’s it take
to get some loyalty
these days?
everyone’s got priorities
in the wrong places,
wasting their energy
on the people
who don’t deserve it,
the manipulators,
putting on faces
to get further
than everyone else,
but i can’t wait
to watch it all crumble,
catch you being met
with a terrible fate.

clock’s ticking.
