The Scandal
Encroaching the private isn’t unfair
for a personality seen by all from downstair.
A character, dwelling on many dark angles
public advantage, used to finagle.
Hidden pockets all over the bell-buttons
new design, covering the stain of the red cottons.
Competent with perceived traits so womanly
a night doer with dealings so cowardly.
Excellent duties not ready to breech
hidden deeds giving out a screech.
A political leader having all cylinders maximized
with extra-curricular intentions vague and unpasteurized.
A religious figure quite true and polite
then an ungodly superman after sunlight.
Once water crosses the dividing line
a diluted form can’t be called red wine.
Explosive reactions even if it warrants a tingle
for trust and expectation to no longer mingle.
Secrets become news for morality to splutter
revolts from subjects and followers, the cutters.
