I sit, reeling in disbelief and shock
at the bold misrepresentations,
choking on the spewed exaggerations
and audacious discriminations.
In the blatant twisting of truth
They scurry to take soul refuge.
and numb, I wonder when "honorable"
was sacrificed to egocentric subterfuge...
Indeed hell hath no fury
as the scorned refuse to see
beyond the realm of injured pride
and gargantuan caches of vanity.
Ironic that truth can deeply hurt
when what is hidden is revealed...
and actions speak far more than words
to bare what is artfully concealed.
Striking out in defensive stance
immersed in inane attempts to deceive,
they lose themselves in casting stones
and in their fantasies, do believe.
It seems the definition of forever
blurs in the hypocrisy of spite
as effusive words of true love
are bandied into something trite.
Mere weapons to stab into the heart
with vile and murderous intent
and poisoned darts of malice fly
cloaked in sweetest message sent.
White washed lies sparkle bright
in today's newest delusional sun
as it glibly coats traces of guilt
in sugary lace of angelic words spun.
