      Never been much into poetry but I love the dark realistic here I could relate to most everything being said/ profoundly expressed in each poem, especially Righteous Fakes and Jenny, this offers statements and storytelling at the time. Good stuff.

    A Taste Of Real Life - J. Liber

    Righteous

    Fakes

    I don’t understand why you feel so much hostility,

    But it sure does stroke my rude little curiosity,

    Telling me who and what I should be,

    As if it’s the wrong air I chose to breathe,

    What the hell do you want from me..?

    What exactly is it your job to do?

    To protect me from being used,

    ––––––––

    Or make me the next target of your abuse?

    You seem to love pointing a finger at disgrace,

    While behind the curtains you’d never lingered for a taste.

    Since you had every bit every day,

    Of the same you claim is shame.

    Oh well, it’s just all apart of reality,

    It’s true I maybe a Rebel in the face society,

    But you better know I’m real.

    And you better believe I’m no righteous fake,

    A hypocrite snake playing a saint.

    Don’t be so surprised?

    I told once now let me make this clear twice.

    A wolf in sheep’s clothing is still a wolf,

    To me, it’s the worst evil deed a person can pull.

    Standing up preaching one day,

    The next those very words are betrayed.
