Best Double Standards Poems

I stand at temptations door...
As anger spurs a grievance withheld.
Surreptitiously you praise the incongruent
While flinging to the wayside the valuable.

Eyes closed to the importance of veracity,
You belabor simplicity with objectivity denounced
As you are drawn only to the iconoclastic.
I long to visualize cronyism obliterated.

When one makes viable peace 
Between erstwhile colonial whites 
And erstwhile colonized blacks 
To the advantage of the whites
We urge for a Nobel Peace Prize
Such was the case in South Africa. 

‘It is all for the greater good’
The activists will proclaim
The judges proudly pronounce
‘The triumph...

You don't miss a slice off a cut loaf
At least that's what most cheaters would say. 
But they're not talking about their wives
Because in their minds they have surmised
That their wives would never view life this way

So if this is a carved in stone fact...

In a situational disaster 
disintegrating faster 
I need a little chat
with a mate, I got a bastard!

Who can't give his hand,
time is precious on demand,
not a fan of understanding, 
he'll dis you and abandon.

Write it off as senseless,
and somewhat unimportant,
distance himself from involvement
and ignore it.

When...

Now this is a double standard
I lend her my shirt and don't squawk 
Later, I borrow just one dress
Then it is like "We need to talk"

Santa knows when you are asleep
And he knows when you are awake
But if I knew, that about you
My freedom would...

The expectations given to me I 
have not met
Unlike others I can't always 
forgive and forget
Like the time you said whole 
heap of lies to me
And you wonder why I have an 
issue with honesty
I haven't quite met up to your 
dreams
But all that glitters...

What does 'clever' mean?
Is it to fix a machine 
Is it the ability to sing 
Is it to know everything 
What is it? 

What does 'nice' imply? 
Is it the resistance to lie 
Is it never to criticise 
Is it the skill to advise 
What...

There is not only a double standard prevalent in the USA between Christians and non Christians. It also applies between liberal left wing radicals and conservatives. Take the January 6th protest out of our Washington DC, our American national capital. Even innocent bystanders, who were...

A mob of angry activists
go and deface a public street,
they painted that ‘Black Lives Matter,’
and the mayor said,”That’s fine with me.’
But when someone spoke of baby lives
they would not let them have their say,
when some sought to say ‘Blue Lives Matter,’
the authorities dragged them away.
They’re...

Recently the United States of America's Supreme Court struck done Roe VS Wade! And thus put the issue where it rightfully belongs! Upon each individual states and thus far 13 states! Have either voted to restrict abortions or prevent them! Whereas other states, such as...

Why do we think it’s bad when other folks do it
While we persist in justifying our flagrant ways?
I suspect we cannot see our own shortcomings
Their misbehaviors despicable, ours merely flings.

No principles 
Only pleasures
They will bend the ledgers 
For their own gain
At the cost of others pain...

Into darkness without my friend,
Every hardship has an end.  
But to struggle alone, when you ask for help… breaks the bond you both have felt.
No person is worth more, than what they give.
So when you reach the end , will you also be missed?...

Tennis star Sinner’s no sinner,
But Phogat is, and no winner,
Sinner’s sans intention,
She should learn a lesson,
Are rules for the First World’s honour?
