Self-Fulfilling Hypocrisy
Hypocrisy, you see, can be truly
unpretentious
in making seem true what is pretended
to be;
but it fulfills itself in ways quite grim
and hideous;
it is a sticky, gooey mask that eats into
the flesh
and skin, quietly, slowly gnawing
into the bones
and sinews of the wearer's hidden,
real face!
