It's easier to tell people what they want to hear
than to hurt and maim with the truth
not wanting to deliver the blow and the fear
providing evidence and the inevitable proof

Some people seek it for attention
confirmation they're shunned and abused
just always there, on vacation
as everyone around them, is used

Playing the game passive and angry
flashing eyes that lie, with a smile
all at the same time, pure lazy
a lack of panache and/or of style

It's a no win scenario
day in and all day out
watching them scheme
as always the innocent victim
un-pious and falsely
devout
