Hypocrisy and Mankind

*HYPOCRISY AND MANKIND* There are few things I struggle to understand Many they are if placed on the stand Maybe not as many as beach sands But trust me just as many as it sounds If fused together can be in bands Maybe by simply holding hands The mystery isn't just on this land Same outcry heard across the foreign lands Want to know what defines truth Without having to taste brutes Still asking what measures trusts Without thrusting things down the throats How honest is our honesty Without having a face stung by hornets What really makes us happy Beyond parties where the outfits appear classy All these I've seen broken And all expressed in words unspoken The assumed Happy are downtrodden Seeking happiness, a special desire from them stolen Betrayals displayed in the open For the wife that let down her underwear for a token To him that broke his vow for meat stolen All with dying conscience left frozen If we choose to leave the shackles and spread our wings to fly The society stares at us and tells us to harder try Even when left with too much to fry Still bottled up, knowing only the weak should cry These we will do till forever, and our inner joy is left to die and dry. *FM CONCEPTUAL write ??*
