Morals

10/24/2018

By Haley VandykePublished 8 years ago • 1 min read

Tell me why there are hypocrites.

Why they defend one, but not another

even though they know that in doing so

they condemn another soul to desolation

and despair.

Tell me thy standards change because of someone's opinion.

Why did one girl get believed while another didn't,

Just because the names on their voting tickets were different.

Blasé ways and blatant lies, refusal to defend what's right

brings pain.

No one welcomes the burglar into their home.

So why do we allow them to walk free and roam?

They enter in like they own us and

we roll over, what is wrong with us?

we lost our justice.
