THE SOCIOPATH [a poem]

What glib and superficial
charm you have
a grandiose estimation
in your eyes;
a need for constant stimulation
of course
and oh, the constant lies!

So cunning and manipulative
you lack remorse
but you’re never guilty;
a superficial emotional response
or worse
callousness and lack of empathy

You are a parasite
without behavioral controls
your sexual promiscuity and
underlying misogyny means
you lack realistic long-term goals;

made worse by impulsivity,
juvenile delinquency,
and a failure to take responsibility;
the perfect candidate
for the presidency
