Many act friendly
only when advantageous,
benefiting them.

As a red balloon 
That flies in the afternoon 
Keep in the thin air
Disingenuous gestures
Confirming the fake feelings

I look to the sky has told by the man named bog whom acts disingenuous about what is not seen. Then a black conical shape made of oil takes shape I now am filled and beatific....

It’s not that your interest in me seems disingenuous
But why me?
I am common
Average
Plebian 

Are you a biographer of the plain?
The simple?
The unknown?

Okay then....

The Electoral College is fraud.
At it's best they take us hostage
Then pay our ransom in jest
This two-party-system
Disingenuous
Slithery snakes
Investing
In fear
Stock....

Please don’t recall me
When you’re sitting there
Finding your way
I will not be your guide
In your dark and disingenuous existence
And I will not fly into
Your downward spiral
That is not life...

I wonder how your
arms can reach out when 
your eyes speak nothing 
of love; I ponder
the limits of faith;

I reflect on
your devotion
and contemplate
what you mean when

you tell me
that I should
focus on

only
what is

real...

be a follower
afraid to be the real you
conformists all lose



just lap dog fame 
disingenuous is your name,
cookie-cutter fame


deceit fills your day
selling your soul to belong
empty shell on sand

It was a fake time,
moon will not rise.

Words were afloat 
on junk dna.

A stonefaced pseudonym
dies point-blank.

The surprise, the speed
was not on our radar.

The ravenous siblings
now asleep on walls.

Naive or disingenuous.
A sitting Buddha will decide.

I apologize for my absence lately,
but I have been told by experts
to keep a 6 poem distance; and 
reciting while wearing a mask 
may have worked for Scaramouche 
but it seems a bit too disingenuous
for my artistic tastes, though one 
should never take germs lightly, 
at least one of them in each of us
and all that we write…....

His slime is abhorrent. 
His smile is disingenuous. 
His words meaningless as his
lies mean nothing. 
His condescension is unapologetic. 
His disdain is not hidden. 
His selfish arrogance is always 
in vision. 
His pompous demeanor makes 
it easier to distrust anything 
and everything he says. 
If you voted for this you will 
be by me always unforgiven....

Unrelenting 
Unrepenting
Disingenuous incensing
Broken promise
Faulty premise
Drunk with grandiose suggesting

All chaotic 
Schizophrenic
Catatonic
Photogenic
Served with Pennyroyal tea
Pinched with acid hydrochloric

I'm the grain of salt that's taken
as my core is always shaken
I refuse to see I'm free
when my gifts return forsaken...

Adept in riling.
You cannot chew the thoughts.
There was no mandible.

This double-edged 
cutlass. The curvy contour 
brings you to a hole. You 
spray a defoliant to 
denude the trees.

Naivete.
Who was competent enough 
to disconnect the sparring 
bulls. Disingenuous, you
were not interested to –

design a stillness as a
requiem for the trailing dazzlers.

Double Standard?
Tom’s Opinion
4/29/2020

She makes charges, He denies.
Fair minded people report the facts,
but the national media is disingenuous,
spinning everything to fit a narrative 
that often portrays their own viewpoint.
Listening to the accuser has now become dependent
upon what network is asking the question.
Each person should be measured with the same yardstick!

Two Standards
Written: by Tom Wright
7-7-2016

There’s rules for the haves and have not’s,
And it seems for some others, there’s none.
Some sacrifice each day by going to work,
While others draw SNAPS and lay in the sun;

So If we’re thinking that everyone is playing,
 By precisely the aforementioned rules;
We’re definitely either being disingenuous, 
Or perhaps we’re playing the part of fools.

It's so hard, sometimes
To remove this cerement 
To muster a veritable smile
To schlepp out of the sediment

It will end, I know
When authentic smiles will replace
The disingenuous air
I bedaub to my face 

The crazy part is, it seems
That the solution to my abasement 
Though well within my clout
Looms just far of my embracement 

Motivation! To do the work
For which I have the skill
Seems lacking in my repertoire
As does the supportive shill...

You looked through me
Like I wasn’t even there
You were saying words
That I couldn’t hear

I thought I knew you better
I guess it wasn’t so
The only things I saw
Were what you put on show

A veil of deception
A cloak of desperation
A mask of dishonesty
A shroud of aberration

A disingenuous act
That took me by surprise
A nefarious performance
That was well disguised

You looked through me
To see the other side
Like I wasn’t even there
A memory brushed aside...
