Of Deceit And Honorable Hypocrisy! Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Of Deceit And Honorable Hypocrisy!



People aren't just thrusted into the limelight,
For doing absolutely nothing.

They may be seen doing absolutely nothing noteworthy,
When they are actually there.
But to come from nowhere...
To then be everywhere?
With a hype unlike found under microscope,
Day and night!
To then proclaim...
An unawareness?
Not too many of us 'trip' like this!

And not to intentionally bring attention upon oneself?
Even lunatics can create better excuses.

People aren't just thrusted into the limelight,
For doing absolutely nothing.

That's been done too many times by those who create wars.
Those who stick their busy noses into places...
Then proclaim an innocence.
Like a child found with a mouthful of mints.
After being told too many times...
Lieing does not make sense!
When their misdeeds are exposed,
With a spreading of the evidence.
And pictures of them posing wickedly,
Smiling in front of unusually familiar...
Although conquered foreign doors.
Knowing they've been warned many times before.

People aren't just thrusted into the limelight,
For doing absolutely nothing.

Something done that they did or do,
Got them exactly what they wanted.
With the aid of those who empathize,
With lies reeking...
Of deceit and honorable hypocrisy!
