Praised On Raised Pedestals Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

It is as easy today to ruin someone's reputation,
As it is to deceive anyone who believes...
Those who preach with a self righteousness,
Are not sneaking around cheating on their mates.
With a hope their judgements passed on others,
Keeps them praised on raised pedestals.
With a doing done that is public,
To impress those equally impeccably dressed...
With a covering to smother up their own digressions.
