He would not ever harm
Another
Soul.
Or so he claims.
He says he doesn’t see the benefit
Of such a
Game.
His very words
Exclaim
Just how incapable he is of
Admitting blame
Or having even the
Appearance of
Shame.
It is clear to her that what
He purports
To be,
Makes him the very
Opposite of who
She will agree
to see.

When a rule was explained
As one meant to give voice
But abandoned
As soon
As one snatched up their choice,
Don’t be fooled to believe
It was done in good faith
For ostensible standards
Prove hypocrisy’s face.
