I remember when contradictions to ideals mentioned, <br />Were quickly dismissed. <br />And covered up to immediately hush. <br />With an ostracizing of those of tarted tongues. <br />Unafraid to expose what was seen unjustly done. <br />Long before profits became hot topics. <br /> <br />Well, <br />It seems today... <br />Everyone is deviant, <br />In some kind of inappropriate sexual way. <br />And in the darkest of closed closets. <br />With a molesting of minds to confine their deceits. <br /> <br />And to say these dysfunctional disturbing acts, <br />Have been going on for years behind those backs... <br />Quick to impose their self righteous 'philosophies' on others. <br />Denying those decadent touches practiced in private. <br />And abandoned are those standards claimed valued, <br />With a devoted faith shown publicly but not to be trusted as stated. <br /> <br />However... <br />Pure and pristine images are kept dignified to maintain, <br />With a censoring done to keep those 'ideals' left unblemished.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
