Way back when gluttony was a sin

Nobody took pride in being the best liar

Especially to themselves

 

Where did that idea come from?

Certainly not from here

Critical thinking is

 

Just too dangerous

The wrong feelings hurt

The wrong toes trampled

 

Better to cocoon and parrot

Than to lose friends never met

Better to be thankful to be dead

Than have to stomach someday

 

What has been wrought

By self-deception
