Deception

The deception and lies I see with my own two eyes would make the strongest stomachs weak.
 Morals sink to the deapths of the ocean.
 Yet we all go through some act of devotion. 
Pretent at the end of this life that we were honest companions.
 Man and Wife can just divorce, government officals will not take blame, while the herione addict reaches fame.
 If we are all looking for someone to blame. Take out some paper. Write down your name. We can try to be different, but we're all just the same.

Lovely write this! I like how you said take some paper and write down your name - it's a cause for meditation. Deception really is a vice that we can do without!
