Scandal
by George J. Carroll → (All Poetry by George J. Carroll)
   Rated "G" by the Author.

Scandals happen everywhere

That man has laid his foot.

Masked invaders travel

Wearing many guises.

 

The devil has his day,

And seems to win most.

Flesh is the evil he uses,

And is effective, he'll boast.

 

The evil in this world

Will not be cured

By the pointing fingers

Of the self righteous.

 

Hate is contagious,

And shows its face

In the mockery of the

Good with the bad.

The devil has been here longer than us and has tempted many souless souls.

Always,

Oh, but we love our scandals. We love them so much that we create reality shows and soap operas to continue them throughout our day. We are a sorry lot, that's for sure. ;-)

Scandals do happen, it happens when "we"
do not have a conscious or a set of unfortunate
circumstances befall us...

The "devil" is our human emotion that we let turn
into something it should not be... Man likes to use
the excuse "the devil made me do it" I find humor in
this when it is man who is in control of himself...

We are in control of our behavior and hate is very
ugly... It eats the soul alive...

Good write as always George :)

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
