You Heartless Hypocrite
You heartless hypocrite!
In times of joy
You diffuse your whispers
To create of an impression
As though you care
About one to be victim
In the attention of the endangered
You keep utter silence
And watch as he slips
Into the trap by you prepared
And when he sees he is falling
You appear as if to warn
Of the fall by yourself prepared
As you point his favorite deed
Of which you deeply envy
As the apparent decoy
That led to your trap
Callously imprisoning his mind
To hate himself and his deed
As he relentlessly fights again
A futile battle against himself
Which rather his inner it kills
So you can see his death twice
As he wails in your bottomless pit
You heartless, heartless hypocrite!!
