Legitimizing Ignorance



There is no excuse,
Few adults can make.
For their display,
Of being disrespectful.
Anytime, anywhere or anyplace.

Even though the doing of it,
Can be considered legitimate.

But a childishness to view as is,
Created to attract attention to get?
Will only leave the one,
Witnessed being disrespectful.

And...
Left to believe by others convinced,
There are other ways to prove...
One's ignorance.
Without an audience solicited.
Observing the performance of it.
