Double Standards

Double standards rule the bias
Contradict then recklessly react
Shut me up and slam me down
Act like you're perfect and work that angle
Behind that face is the truth I see
Only you're fooling everyone else around town
You're fair - but you're not
You're loving - to someone else
Play your games, learn new tricks
Sweep me in before the escape
Live your life in a closed off bubble
So do things that way, do things your way
This time around I could care less
Lies and slander shed on anger and hate
Tears don't exist in this everlasting state
Give up the game before it's lost today
Again and Again is a cycle that never ends
Told once, told twice, told forever now
Nothing ever changes, nothing ever will
I've done my best - So what about you?
Like spoiled food, where's the reverse?
Thrown in the garbage this just won't work

[Coyote Poetry]

The poem is very strong and the logic in the words are true. People who live a double standard life will get caught sooner or later. I like many strong lines in this poem.
"Lies and slander shed on anger and hate
