The Last Laugh

A poem

Everyone thinks they’re laughing at me

Faces veiled, not a word spoken

I know more than they could ever imagine

One sharp look speaks volumes

More than a thousand words

They don’t need to say a thing

Sitting pretty on their fat asses

Slacking off and gorging without restraint

They have stories to tell their children

About how hard they worked for everything

But the truth is, they inherited it all

From money to habits, and so it goes

For the rest of their days

They think they know better

Their maturity stalled at their age

They believe they have every right to lecture others

The sad truth is, they never learned a thing themselves

They are lost, though they claim otherwise

Their words don’t match their actions

Hidden away at home, no one dares suspect

That the very people preaching morality

Cause harm far worse than any words

And they still get away with it
