Like It Means Anything:

You wear your crosses in plain sight like they mean anything at all

When hypocrisy of your bad behaviour is the thing swallowing whole

The venom of bad people hiding behind masks of acting kind

Like the karma dealt by a hand that wasn't yours is an excuse to find

Reason in being cowardly in the face of insulting others

Masks these people wear, when deep down under the covers

They'll twist words unable to find who even they are

Content in the idea of never expanding so far

As to find joy in spreading the simple act of kindness to others

Revel in your wrong doing

Golden boy no more,

Bronze people made of stone and  sour reasoning to settle scores

Never started in the first place

Think about something other than yourself at least once.

Wear your crosses like they mean anything, smile your plastered smiles

People all the same, an uneven kind of unhappiness living in plain

Sight and yet no one can see. Even I blinded by my own ideas

Of a light that wasn't really something but shimmer created by me

Unkindness and something not whole

Living in plain sight to see. 

Wear your crosses like they mean anything

And wonder why you'll be unhappy. 

~J.K.M.
