Hypocrisy
Imbeds itself
In theĀ gum line
In the arch
Of a righteously
Defined palate
In the pockets
Of covetous cheeks
In the curve
Of a discriminating
Tongue
In the crevices
That alienate
Vicious canines
From their pacifistic
Neighbors
*
To speak
Of human folly
Is to speak
Of disregard
It is not
Intention alone
That shapes
A society
*
Do you live
Your ideals
Or do you slumber
Inside of a more
Hospitable
Delusion?
