Captivated Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

One with an eagerly massaged ego boosted,
By those aggravating aggressively.
And cheering behind the scenes.
Show no concern about losing their integrities.
Or abilities to demean.
Since they know one narcissistic,
Will take credit when and wherever they can.
To think being depicted as an idiot.
Is proof they can still demand and get,
All the attention without sharing it...
With those one with an ego,
Also fatally incompetent...
Only will mention if they continue,
Lavishing one narcissistic...
With thunderous applause and praise.
Done from behind the scenes.
Getting paid without openly displaying,
A love to mock,
One who enjoys delivering nonstop theatrics!
At the expense of those,
Captivated.
By the many ways their lives are being destroyed.
