To say that life is easy

would be to make me queasy

for we should know this, really,

seems remedied easily.

~

Time has its failures

masses of personality

complete with ventures

beyond our serenity.

~

i’m a hypocrite in line

standing in line

standing in line

I’m a hypocrite in line

~

Would any silent response

give just enough influence

Could we not be who flaunts

rather, lives in the onslaught

~

I’m a hypocrite in line, standing in line.
