Insolence

A friends insolence

indirect influence

seems my only bane

contrary to popular belief 

I've never been vain

inciting my beliefs 

silently into others

never my intention

still we become brothers

time slowly drags on

oh the thing you'll see

a comfortable numbness

that my friend, is the key

yet this time you've

taken things too far

you care for nothing

except that damn car

preaching against such

hypocrisy becomes your profession

you've become what you hate

profit your only obsession

I don't see the friend

I met long ago

only the victim of 

your own bravado
