The mocking bird sits high on his perch,
gazing in sadistic glee,
while his prey deems to search
to find his mockery.

But the mocking bird befuddles them
at every twist and turn.
His playful tease they will condemn
in hopes that he will burn.

That baleful bird sits high above reach,
unconcerned with their query.
While they rage and preach
his flaws,  the bird is almost cheery.

Their brittle hatred bears no threat
to one as knowing as he.
There is no need for him to fret
he has already attained his victory.
I wrote this for a contest on writing.com that asked for the writer to use the words "mockery" and "brittle" in the poem.
