The Claws Of A Narcissist

By Craig Childers



Narcissism is becoming more frequently known

A dysfunctional prefrontal cortex as science has shown

 

 The self objectivity is absent you see

And they are null and void of any empathy

 

They exploit and coerce with triangulation

And engage in emotional indoctrination

 

They have fantasies of unlimited success

While keeping their targets in constant duress

 

On top of the world in their delusional state

Manipulating others is clearly their fate

 

They will devalue you amongst your friends

From their relentless spite, there is no end

               

They expect all praise and admiration

As they indulge in their targets humiliation

 

They will over idealize with all their intent

With no introspection in a mind well bent

 

The narcissist does not make any mistakes

And in their exploits there are no brakes

 

There is no light in the mind of a narcissist

Just arrogance and haughtiness amidst a self serving bliss

 

They exert circular reasoning and their gas lighting

And straw man fallacy partners with the belittling

 

They engage word salad in a manipulative tone

And recruit flying monkeys to keep their targets alone

 

So pompous, entitled, and grandiose,

But that is what the public wants to see

 

Control is destiny in their insecure mind

To your right and your left, you’ll find like kind

 

Their charm and charisma will mesmerize all

But failure’s fear can make them fall

 

And in the prefrontal cortex that science now knows

Are the claws of a narcissist that continue to glow
