The lengths some people go to in order to prove

They have a leg up, for they've shown up moves

You've made in the past with words you've stated

In some way might be viewed as hard facts related



It amazes me to the core in their ultimate extreme

For measures so taken must be heard to be seen

As extraordinary in their waste of money paid ...

Just to make a point and thence to insult and jade



If you have absorbitant amounts of income to do it

Then you are extremely lucky, and should not fret

Over words which in no way are intended to harm

But come bundled in thoughts meant to open arms 



And minds to incite goodness only, and not any pain

So consider the overall picture and you'll come to gain

A much more thorough understanding of purity of soul

Which comes through in abaundance from head to sole
