Sweet-laced Bitterness –
Enticement of tongue
Integrity’s a lie
If enforced –
Assertively coerced
By Humanity’s
Diktat

Sit upright –
Upright sit
Articulate rationally,
Flout the fragments –
Irrationality’s a Disgrace

You’ll breathe better
In Eloquence –
Speak better
With Common sense

Suppress –
Repress
The Unconventional,
Eccentric thoughts –
Conceal your
True-Face Barbaric
Beauty with something
Complacent –
Something Hideous –
Like this Society-imposed –
Masquerade.
