platitudeness

the platitudinizes 

I have woken up to the world we inhabit 
so, much double-speak, self-interest, egotism
and tame excuses make me physically ill
For many, it is about getting the upper hand
how to lure money out of the innocent
The law is ordered, and the guilty are often
forgiven by those they swindled.
We see through them, they are not willing
to help anyone unless it is beneficial for
them, then demonstrate their kindness
so the whole world can see their greatness
there is a greedy content to their action.
we have lived long enough we see phoniness 
the glittering prizes, the hollow press 
uncritically reporting on events that are based 
on lies by the self-serving elite.
