Hypocritical Galore

Who are you to demand my trust?
I’m the one who lacks the lust
You’re the one suffering in life
I’m at peace, your faithful wife

Who are you to believe in your lies?
Telling us all to be loyal and wise
Actions speak louder, words are dismissed
How hypocritical of you to always insist

Insist we behave in a manner you approve
All the while claiming we need to improve
What about the demons knocking at your door?
Shall we turn our heads to your hypocritical galore?

You’re the one always right; never are you wrong
How unfathomable an idea, yet still you feel so strong
A narcissist maybe for you seem to love only you
Your family sits as hostages waiting for our queue

No longer needing to play your delusional mental game
Escaping from this crisis will be our walk of fame
Narcissist and hypocrite; two words to describe you best
We pray for the Lord’s forgiveness when you finally come to rest
