I am a complete hypocrite,
I can hide Truth with ideas bright.
I am cunning, I am civilized,
Counterfeit truth I have baptized.
Naked truth I can't face,
I believe in stylized grace.
Of body's beauty I feel ashamed,
It conceals in tinsel attire framed.
Honey tongue and a heart of gall,
The world to me an easy prey fall.
Season's sense the sex has lost,
Its Nature assigned role is frost.
Nature's gifts I have moved to zoo,
From top to bottom artifice I woo.
Craftily the flora and the fauna effaced,
Them Teddy bear, fake flowers replaced.
On weekends the gardens don't attract,
For sunbath the beeches are not the tract.
Of time for these I am hard prest,
Casino culture is my sole interest.
For singing birds I can't pause,
My ears are now tuned to jazz.
Morning's freshness I forgo.
I am used to late night show(s) .
I am more ferocious than the beast
On Nature's burial I do feast,
Human bombs are my new feat,
All cruelties I now beat.
I don't look at my balance sheet,
How long shall I myself cheat.
I would better be a pagan now,
To nudist culture I shall bow.
The Buddha, the Mahavira and the Christ
With the naked Truth they had a tryst;
All embellishments they threw off,
The so called civilization they scoff(ed) .

your poem depicts the nature of man, it shows real pictures. great, GOD bless
I enjoyed your poem, dear friend, and applaud your use of rhyme. How true it is that the trappings of civilization are only skin deep. Too often the appearance of a gentleman hides the animal beneath.
Quasi or pseudo civilization... on the cross road we’re at… Swami. Vivekananda said Don’t intervene to society’s trend [doesn’t be a reformer] in R.K.Mission mission and vision …but he added also ‘Be’ and ‘Make’ …= humaneness... and as poet you did that... Sir it’s a very contemporary poem … 10+. Ms. Nivedita UK
The trait of being rude and impertinent; inclined to take liberties…self deception in finality. Indeed the tale of day. Ten++ dr.sakti. Please visit my page and comment 'Ultimating in Zeroing' a poem. ds
This world is far from civilised, I sometimes wonder if it ever will be....not in my lifetime anyway... Ruthy
The poem is very informative about today's civilization. You've reach us there! Good write, but it think it's better without the end rhymes. Keep writing and thanks for sharing your poem to us.

Many of us at some time are tempted by desires, trapped by the false flashy trimmings, of a so called civilised life. They miss the beauty of the natural world, being too wrapped up in themselves. Life is a choir not a solo performance. C.P. a great write of wisdom. Bob
