Humanity


Filthy utterances

Deceive,

Aches the heart,

The mind.

 

Shady eyes

Saturate,

Deprives confidence,

Instills fear; fright.

 

A hypocritical smile

Adorned, embraced,

An act; repudiates morale.

 

Frivolous gestures

Perceived,

Unfaithful and condemning,

A lucid lie.

 

'Who do you refer to?' (You may ask)

No one other than

My flesh, my own kind,

Humanity, that is all.
