Separate the art from the artist,
Because you had all once bought it....

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

Double Standards

Boy how the Lords 

Of Old Money and Privilege 

Take exception and retreat to the Higher Ground 

When their means and tactics 

Are used against them...

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.

Quote 11

   The unprecedented antics and double standards 
you see from the Left, are Satan's chain letters 
falling from their pockets, 
as they flail wildly, swinging their hatred for Trump 
and other dissidents, 
that challenge their cozy status quo. Forgetting in their rage 
that which was supposed to be kept secret,
including their reply love letters back."...

Premium Member Double Standards Withstanding
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.

Our God Reigns - With Humble Power
I
Humans boldly march to their fall:
My utter dependence on Jesus 
Surprises, shocks, my foe, friend, family

II
O so often a male friend harbors envy
Invited to visit home & family
They spin webs, but God humbles them

Hallelujah; even "pastor friends" have shown pride, double standards, & I am less open to a wide open door (policy!); my duty is to protect my family & their integrity as Jesus-followers...

Double Standards
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 be at stake!

At the bar the double standard 
Shirtless men, get no drinks for free
Women with no shirts get free drinks
Oh........... I guess that's okay with me!...

The Stereotype
Live by Stereotype,
Die by Stereotype,
Living superficially with double standards,
Racism, sexism, Haters,
Hating on who you want to be,
Who you were,
and who you are,
Biasing opinions on bad examples,
Not wanting to learn the truth,
The truth silently hiding behind the exterior,
The reality,
Blind to looks,
Based on actions, attitudes, and personality,
Based on honesty, pride, and intelligence,
Based on...
The truth......

You Are Right and Said the Truth
He makes you glad and depressed sometimes
Yet, he does not use double standards
Nor he does cover the poison with honey
Nor act smart!
When he gets furious about somebody,
After several indulgent forgiveness holds, in a nano,
The red colored sparkle goes with his sharp canines
In that dead body core bones
Red heart in one hand and white brain in the other
To set both on that damn toothy plastic face.  
Bless you and have a bliss....

Friends With Benefits
A friendly Screw is what's in store
I like sex does that make me a whore? 
The double standards I simply ignore 
My body is open yours to explore 
We can get busy in a friendly way
Friends w benefits & u don't have to pay
perfect when finished be on your way
We both know we're here for a lay
No strings attached no awkward words to say
No gifts, flowers, or chocolates thought that was understood 
Only 1 requirement my friend you better give it to me  G-O-O-D!...

Double Standards
The silence is deafening.
The Devil capers madly.
Soldiers revel in atrocities.
Demons slaughter the innocents.

The silence becomes thunderous.
Beasts brutalise the oppressed.
Their resistance is legendary.
Famine stalks the rubble.

The silence is shattered!
Strangers fight the iniquity.
Nations condemn the deaths.
… Still the murders continue.

The silence is deafening…
How is this “war”?
The victims are blamed.
The “chosen people”, praised.

Are all lives not equal?...
