The Picture Developed

In society we seek security We make purity a priority We prefer clarity as oppose to transparency And want our dignity to be seen as piety All while prefering luxury to charity And loyalty to our royalty While our own faithfulness A probability instead of responsibility Weak with an inability to suppress Impresionability yes we go willingly Useing ingenuity for promiscuity Shatering the ballance of fidelity Destroy the institution of reliability Shame the good name of liberty Carry impurity into infinity Selfishly seeking impunity and immunity While chipping at the unity of community Destroying the integrity of the family All in the context of one congruity Can one infideliy beget so much cruelty

Good one, and gosh, this could also be almost classified as mono-rhyme, couldn't it?

Some very good and accurate lines that have been penned..I like the line "Destroying the integrity of the family"..Satan has just about won that one which totally destroys a society...Thanks for stopping by...Sara

now this one I really like! stellar use of both end and internal rhyme, and I happen to agree with every line...the title is an interesting one, why 'the picture developed'?

Simple. The title was writen first. I had a compleatly different ideal for the poem but it was too painfull to write. But not the principle. Writing about the principle was easy. Comming up with words not so easy.
