Shade of Sleaze

The cankerous mind,

No conscience behind,

Is a vicious tribe,

A part of everyone's gripe.

Refuses allegiance

Worships dominance,

Shrewd to the core

And knows how to lure.

Hollow chants of honesty,

Of unity, of diversity,

Empty words of assurance,

Guides its treacherous existence.

There's no real valor

In the absence of candor,

And the charm of ersatz charms

Is embraced with both arms.

It's easy to embrace

The road of disgrace

Hard to maneuver back

Ditching the infamous sack.

Prepare before you leap

To sow what you reap,

If not, there's always a choice

Avoid the sleaze, maintain poise.
