Beneath the guise
of virtue’s glow,
Lies a shadow,
dark and low.
👺👺👺
A helping hand,
a tender smile,
Concealing hearts,
corrupt and vile.
👺👺👺
They wear the cloak,
the saintly face,
But deeds betray
their hollow grace.
👺👺👺
Their words like honey,
sweet and smooth,
Yet hide the poison
of their truth.
👺👺👺
Beware the mask,
the shining light,
For not all gold
glows true at night.
👺👺👺
Abusers lurk
in false disguise,
Their kindness
but a web of lies.
