Burdened by the Sunday paper and blinded by televised news,

He opts to live in a vacuum of forfeit and familial obscurity

See, the relatives are permanently indisposed,

They are attending a family judgment contest

Knowing quite well self-preservation supersedes altruism,

It is vital to avoid becoming the scapegoat of the week

 Must shield oneself from such disparagement,

Otherwise mental capacity is jeopardized
