How Dare You Ds

How dare you proclaim sanctimonious innocence
 Innocent you may be as the cheese house rat
 Evidence in the stench of your unrighteous fat
 
Try to paint a picture with your vain empty words
 Man looketh on your outward pretence appearance
 God knoweth the hidden secrets of your vile heart
 
How can there be forgiveness for no repentance
 I cannot look past your self-contained righteousness
 Nor dare I hope you will see your selfimposed perfection
 
I held you up high on a I-so-esteem you pedelstal
 Boy did you give me a sudden unexpected love drop
 I feel the cold air of your indifference wisp past my heart

Poet Destroyer A April 29, 2012 at 10:39 PM WOW! Joy... i'm not being nosy, but, this is very direct! Only you know why you do or say the things you say. I'm with you 100% how dare he??? I know you will see past all of this real soon. I hope to hear from you. By the way, that is a very lovely picture. I have something sad to say. I always took your relationship with David, as a positive for me and my sweety from the poetry soup. Remember that guy I told you about. We are now together in Texas... Your a beautiful friend..always PD
