Corrupt

Why must this world be filled with greed and contempt?

What is to be gained by walking on and disrespecting others?

It is something I cannot comprehend,

I try so hard to see the good in people but it can be so incredibly difficult,

I do not want to see them as bad or evil,

However sometimes that's all I can see.

Their ugly smirks behind that perfect poker smile,

The dark cloud hovering over their entire being as vile and corrupt thoughts circulate through their minds,

Those words of deception leaving their foul tongues,

I want to believe they are not what I perceive them to be,

But in truth that is what they are,

Monsters hiding in plain sight, 

Disguised as human beings.
