Reap the Whirlwind

For years I have been patient,
Courteous and you respected,
But lately my values have changed,
To your side they have defected.
You have not made any effort,
To give me courtesy,
So now I will give you back,
What you have given to me.
My vitriol will be explosive,
I’ll interject into what you say,
I’ll be aggressive with my choice of words,
Each and every day.
I’ll frown and complain loudly,
And cry that this isn’t fair,
I’ll mutter obscenities under my breath,
As I give you a poisonous stare.
I’ll cease to pay attention,
To your every word,
And when you ask a question,
I’ll pretend that I haven’t heard.
This has been brought to you by you,
My anger you have empowered,
The milk of human kindness,
For over time can be soured.

Sometimes I'd like to give people back the attitude they give me. But that would make me like them. Nah, I'll just infuriate them with stubborn politeness.
