False sermons:
lies given as life lessons.
The pseudo-righteous
committing sins behind locked doors.
They stand tall –
proud and egotistical:
the epitome of hypocrisy,
like narcissists preaching modesty,
thieves teaching integrity,
liars blessing honesty.
They’re glorified, romanticized:
god-like idols feigning purity,
using religion to manipulate,
abusing the devotion of the naïve.
Followers fall to their knees
in the name of their beliefs,
taught to them by gilded demons
dressed up in suits.
But eventually, their masks will crackle.

In death,
their veils will fall.
