One Of a Kind



Imitating may be interpreted as flattery.
With it hoped a faking created makes,
An impression made.
Although a duplicating to charade,
Authenticity.
Done to want accepted as original?

This...
Process,
Seldom escapes the smell of it wasted.
On those awake and conscious.
Distrusting accusations to allege,
That which is shown and known genuine...
Is less impressive.
Less honest with devious intentions.

Since being one of a kind,
Should be suspected by the people...
Who are more these days accustomed,
To believe and follow behind deceivers.
Clueless yet addicted to slick trickery.
Shown and known to lie with eyes sincere.

And...
Received they are to be perceived deities.
More credible to represent a way of life,
Normalized as is to observe and witness!
As if...
Not the hypocrites too obviously gone,
Unheard to hear or be seen...
Noticed.
Under a clear, cloudless sky.
Performing acts of betrayal, treason,
Corruption, fraud and 'mind' theft.
Publicly done to do and loudly cheered!
