Snob

Satire

Somewhere in my subconscious
I challenge unhealthy cultures
They circle around like vultures
Seeking carcass
From fracas
Birthed by snobs
High, mighty and snooty,
Your kindness a booby trap.
I see through the charade...
You challenge the validity of your opponent's argument...civilly
Offer them viable options, make them feel comfortable before your snobbery spews through every pore of your skin.
You casually belittle them for...
Not being like you, not being educated enough, not sucking up to you....
You go on and on everytime,
Tell you what???
I have a mental metal map of your take down strategy...
The die is cast!
I take on the responsibility to bring you down to earth where we lesser mortals thrive.
The very thought of you being humbled inspires a twirl.
I promise you will swirl
In waters muddied by you.

God will debase the haughty somehow, will elevate in ranks the humble; It is a severe turnoff to people when they meet those arrogant ones. I have not met a great man or woman who were not humble, confident of themselves and comfortable in their own skin.
An excellent take on these attitudes.

I love this.
Sometimes other have no reality and believe that they are more. No one is less and no one is more.
Your word usage here is awesome! :).

[Titilayo Sarah Eguridu]

Indeed Erica,
All men are equal or the same regardless of race,skin tone, education or financial status.
In the end, what matters is our humanity.
Thank you for the kind review Erica.
I appreciate your kindness.

The snob may be too shallow to be aware of the reasons for his superiority complex, or possibly he uses it as a defense mechanism against feelings of inferiority. Either way, it is a delusional way of life.

[Titilayo Sarah Eguridu]

Yes John I hear you loud and clear.
Shallow is the operating word here.
It’s great to know you feel this way.
You are one of the great few.
Social media has worsened the situation.
Thank you for sharing,I appreciate your kindness.

I am partial to this poem....grew up where I saw a lot of this snobiness, entitlement and uppityness ...and I just longed for them to be put back down to earth.
No one is better than anyone else....we all matter....

It gives me great anguish and grief when I meet people who feel they are superior to others.
It’s mind boggling and exasperatingly annoying!
As I grew older, I understood the problem.
Superiority complex is advance inferiority complex.
Thank you for sharing Jacob.
It warms the heart to know that you belong to the tribe of the few who believe all men are equal.
