There is a mismatch
that takes place in society
when those Titles
we revere most
are worn wrongfully
and those written in blood
with no connection
are esteemed
rather than
served rejection
these Titles lauded
with innate expectations
are too often loathed weapons
of great deceptions
Ironic recommendations
worthless words
of condemnation
By those said persons
with whom
There is no connection
But, for those titles
and their inflection
Fathers -that never fathered
Friends- that pretend
Neighbors- only of deception
Employers- of subtlety and lies
And Lovers -that wipe away all smiles
Titles that demand honor
Titles that tell of loyalty
Titles that showcase intimacy
Titles that lie
And behind these titles
There are those who are not entitled
At all
But bravely wear them
Wrongfully
In a blame game
In a quest for fame
In a plot to destroy
Another's name
Titled expectations
worn proudly
with camouflaged realities
Names
with implied responsibility
and Power
to obscure what others see
Some sort of
Label-like Supremacy
To destroy,to hurt,to obstruct,to rob,to malign
with Titles
Not facts
Those Persons
Who understand only too well
why
They can never,ever relate, Them
To the titles they carry
