the attitude pretentious
with hints of maliciousness
an arrogant approach
on the verge of an overdose
a lighter touch
indeed would succeed

cornering the champions
with longwinded air
forgetting elegance
relying on flare
eloquence not the forte
a collection of battle words & terms
spewed in an effort to gain support

unheard by the innocents
their ears pure
their thoughts unpolluted
their hearts virtuous
with their brooms
the bombastic byproduct……. viciousness
swept from the room
