They do not know what you've done or what you do.
They have never met or known you & have no clue.
They have no idea of your causes or the reasons,
Still, they are your expert judges in all the seasons!
They instantly pronounce you guilty in their court!
They resolutely, blindly, obsequiously, & unfairly support-
The party whom they know or who has them engaged.
Just the ambience is needed for their drama to be staged!
They are talented impromptu actors without any script-
They share words & lines as per whom they wanna lift!
Though they have/had never thought about issues before,
They indulge & the doer gets branded- "armchair warrior"!
Keep doing what you can & be yourself that only you can be.
What they say or do doesn't matter as they cannot think or see.
Absolutely fabulous smile mustn't turn upside down into a frown.
When they pull you down, remember that you own the crown.
