You Heartless Hypocrite

You heartless hypocrite! In times of joy You diffuse your whispers To create of an impression As though you care About one to be victim In the attention of the endangered You keep utter silence And watch as he slips Into the trap by you prepared And when he sees he is falling You appear as if to warn Of the fall by yourself prepared As you point his favorite deed Of which you deeply envy As the apparent decoy That led to your trap Callously imprisoning his mind To hate himself and his deed As he relentlessly fights again A futile battle against himself Which rather his inner it kills So you can see his death twice As he wails in your bottomless pit You heartless, heartless hypocrite!!
