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.

We try not to be that way, but our lack of internal security might cause some terrible lapses. What I am trying to say is that there are degrees of this disease, and I don't think anyone is 100% pure. What happens when someone who is sorely affected ends up with money and power? We only hope we can be far away. Not always realizable, so we sometimes have to fight back in a great variety of ways. Not pleasant but necessary.

Full marks to this poem which deals on how some people act, speak and react in ways that could be devious. ~ Regards // paul
