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.
