Enmity Between the Body and Lips
A personality and character, parading a huge title
but in conformity to its credentials, his big battle.
Fine presentation and well crafted charisma to look particular
making a malnourished mind look healthy and muscular.
An attractive body with a borrowed shadow
sounds, confirmed false when peeping through his window.
His leaves are evergreen and fresh every hour
bearing eye catching fruits so attractive but sour.
To neighbours and men of caliber, he salutes
but on their reputations and names he pollutes.
Punishments of the deviants on the street is his call,
the replication of their deeds in his backyard is his fall.
Actions oppose expressions, only a few may know when
his outside, a beautiful castle but the inside, a dangerous den.
