Human

Hypocritical masses adorned
 with superficial glasses
Lie with every step- you and I, 
 blinded the cloak of Night.

You lie with each utterance, 
 and I embrace my poison words.
You cry with each pin prick, 
 as I fall upon tainted swords.

Never shall I bend to the whim 
 of the low, of the earth, of the soil!
My hands must be pure- 
 and so I laze while you toil.

You, sir, are a hypocrite, 
 for you have eyes and a tongue.
I, sir, am a hypocrite, 
 the highest ladder, the lowest rung.

At conception, with no exception, 
 we're bent towards temptation.
Be it this wrong, or that wrong-
 we each dance to a masked song.

You are human, sir, and so you lie- 
And so live, and love, and let judgement die.
