Poem

Trod softly with stockinged feet
hallways of righteousness 
echo the sound of
mendacity

Ringing hollow on hallowed walls
the brides of yesterday
cry out in mourning
their excuses

Wed in white their vows falling
sweetly through lips tarnished 
with lies overflowing
in laughter

While purity longs to be gleaned 
on the morning of truth
passing in beauty
everlasting

Inspired by "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" with Burl Ives decrying "Mendacity".  This is a light slap 
at second chance marriages that are done in white.  Although I understand a white wedding 
does not mean the same now as it once did.
