Hypocrites Claiming To Be Saints Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Trust to have and believe these days,
Is a wholesome and honest way to live.
May be justified on a rollercoaster ride.
However...
Keeping eyes closed and holding on tight,
Could provide more comfort.
Than confiding in anyone,
To trust them to be honest.
Unless,
Of course...
They have been hypnotized not to recognize,
Hypocrites claiming themselves to be saints!
Until their mouths open to gossip.
And this has been proven,
No hypnotist or magician can stop!
