Self righteousness

Satire: self-righteousness

 

Jude 10 

10 But these men do not understand the things they slander, and they are being destroyed by the very things that, like irrational animals, they instinctively comprehend.

 

 

 Lover of self burned by the sun to appear attractive 

But deep inside a well-placed common hate for color

For the ones who don’t appear like us being "productive"

In such justifying my love for hate as we scream and holler 

 

Imitator for what is good never searching for the better

Satisfied in our own mind not really wanting to change

Never fulfilled in the real but addicted to this fetter

In a civilized way of life that is deeply de-arranged

 

Sickness accepted as normality in average perception

Comparing oneself with the ruins all around in town

Good appears the future in the deadness of perplexing 

With its normal patterns of constant up and downs

 

Mental degradation in a vacation well deserved

To get away from the pressure that we imposed on self

Blaming the whole world for the misery self-created

And then call it peer pressure as deformed we fare well
