C Block Sestina: What Is Wrong with People?



C Block Poem: What Is Wrong With People?

When people run out of options they choose to feel the anger,
Irony framing the ignorant hypocrisy.
You judge me – I judge you – and it makes us both judgmental.
The cold, vile glass shows you your insecurity,
And truths are easily hidden by sarcasm.
Figuring people out gives me anxiety.

Unexpected change can bring a fit of anxiety.
The bitterness and resentment of humanity’s failed dreams ignites the fire that is our anger.
The young voices croak out to the bitter air, words drenched with sarcasm.
Can a crow ever be a dove when the whole flock is shrouded in hypocrisy?
She walked down the street with her eyes on the cement, draped in a cloak of insecurity.
Whether a friend or foe, people are judgmental.
