Notorious Hypocrisies Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

It's a common excuse used,
To say...
'Inappropriate conduct,
Is inexcusable in times lived today.'

Apologies are made,
By those with inflated egos.
Getting their ten to fifteen minutes of fame.
And displaying shameless antics.
With expectations,
To be forgiven for their public 'fits'.
And a degraded population sits,
In acceptance...
Of this unappetizing crockpot full of derangeness.

While those who participate,
Try to save their fates.
By the addressing of what agitates...
In suits and ties.
Hoping a forgiveness,
Will mask their lies!
Or disguise their attempts tried.

And it works!
