A Complex Creature

Yours is a callous disregard for the feelings of others
and an uncommon generosity of spirit

With a religious certainty in your opinions
and a feverous commitment to your causes

With feigned blindness to the impact of your words

And in some storms a safe harbor
but as volatile as TNT on a rocky road

You promote discontent and estrangement
while hosting loving family events

You are supportive and dismissive
in the same sentence and

Delightful as a bee sting
