Hypocrisy

Hypocrisy

A Poem by Legion
"

A song about hypocrisy. No doubt.

"

Hypocrisy

 

The flexibility of your hypocrisy

Simply amazes me.

You pull aside the integument that hides

A false integrity.

 

Chorus

I'd rather live in sin and debauchery

Than the deception of hypocrisy.

I'd rather live in confusion and indecision

Than the conformity of a false religion.

 

The shortsightedness of your self-righteousness

Escapes the vulnerability

And condemnation of your salvation

In which you believe

You are the perfect saint without the vile taint

Of the world's atrocities,

But you cannot deny that the splinter in my eye

Attracts your idiosyncrasies.

 

Chorus

 

This ostentatious pedestal you perch upon preaches

Morality,

But you're drowning in the drunkeness of pretentious

Superiority.

 

Chorus

I had to check you on "integument." That passes!

Great work, and a wonderful choice for topic! Down with hypocrisy! In with authenticity!

"This ostentatious pedestal you perch upon preaches
Morality,
But you're drowning in the drunkeness of pretentious
Superiority."

Great lines. Why don't people get back into "good living" instead of "horrible living and good spin doctors?" I am so frustrated!
