some wear vanity
like a king’s crown
unaware they look
like a vain clown
their fake façade
is easily exposed
as being a fraud
**
there is only one truth
in reality
there’s no guarantee
on what you hear or read
is not a partisan screed
facts are often muddied
with lies
that galvanize
people’s bias
until
tidbits of truth
break through
people must make do
with the tried and true
**
they go through each day
doing the “Hully Gully”
in their hypocritical way
they do the “Twist” with facts
holding reality at bay
hypocrites always dance
to the opposite side of sense
doing the “Hokey Pokey”
and a “Tango” on a fence
they go “Gangnam Style“
when caught redhanded
they do the “Moonwalk”
down denier’s aisle
you can easily see
a hypocrite
doing the “Monkey“
A “Macarena” line forms
when hypocrites gather
defying norms
They do the “Shimmy”
and the “Shake”
whatever it’ll take
to hide what’s true
recognizing the dances
that they do
is a good warning
for you
Burnt sands cover the liescape stretching between truth and deceit buried deep in a person’s mind. A desert of deceit. Unhindered by any convention, yet still possessing a conscience that sometimes asks questions about morality and sensuality.
Falsehoods, like scorpions and snakes, strike swiftly in the seething sands of a liar’s mind whose mission is to deceive. The liar’s soul, burnt by dwelling in the bronzed wasteland of duplicity, is shriveled and crispy.
There are those who dwell in this sandy hell by choice. Content to wander dunes of deceit. Content to live a lie. Content to vilify. Souls that were born bone dry. For these nomads in society, I have no pity.
