Call me egocentric, tell me I am negligent of those who surround me.
Call me unappreciative, tell me I am ill-mannered to those around me.
Yet,
I beg you,
glance past your gilded heart.
Gape the path to your soul.
There you will catch a glimpse of what you have deemed unholy.
Recognize that what you claim I am made up of, is impounded in your disposition.
Comprehend the detestation that swells in your flesh and bones.
Uncover the fraudulent sheath where you house your villainous ways.
We embody much more than just purity.
You may possess the capability of manipulating others into swallowing your dishonest declarations.
You may boast your professed nobility.
But I am here to tell you, I will not have faith in your alleged humanity.
Because just as we hold equity in our hearts,
just as we cling to our supposed integrity,
we clench the hand of corruption.
