An admonition, freely given
Abrogates responsibility.
Or so they say
With their plastic smiles
And false platitudes.

Accountability, transparency
A polysyllabic cacophony.
Peel away the layers,
Delve for the truth
And only emptiness remains.

This assumption of superiority.
Patronage disguised as benevolence,
The need to know, explain and understand
Pales into insignificant gibberish.
What we really mean is:

'Here there be dragons'
