Word Challenge
Their lives were filled with meanness and insanity.
These people lived with no regard for humanity.
They acted with partners of crime, responsible for a fatality.
To keep their secrets they threatened with brutality.
There was not an ounce of empathy in their mentality.
Yet they could hide behind daily acts of mundanity.
They could change on a whim with urbanity.
They could look prestigious with their money and formality.
Still these people bonded together without any morality.
They relied on threats to keep others silent with profanity.
Until one day someone was brave enough to face reality,
Of what was lost as it all returned with righteous volcanity.
Surging forward, confronted the evil with vitality.
Only to be faced with their desperate denial and inanity.
Evil doers laughed with no remorse, vowing lies for eternity.
