Innocent 'Mothers'



More today are declaring to be innocent.
Yet,
Incapable they are to explain...
Whether they proclaim a maintaining,
Of their innocence...
From beliefs to have been deceived.

Or...
Had they been alleged to deceive beliefs,
With an intention to appear...
As innocent as possible to not be suspected,
A liar, a thief, a betrayer who frauds.
And publicly to be known to brag about,
Committing treason.

Which category best pleases,
The ones who are more inclined...
To be satisfied.
As to which degree of innocence,
Is applied to their eroding integrity.
With approval and acceptance to them given!

'Not meaning to offend anyone,
Who may respond to your question.
Since we realize this is not your intention.
But...
You are aware we all are loyal,
And patriotic 'pledge allegiance' to the flag...
Wholesome living, respectful human beings.
Proud to honor and obey,
Our American way of life to express this...
Shown and to have it known the World over.'

'You are absolutely right.
I do not mean to offend anyone.
That is why I asked,
Before I jumped to conclusions.
If some, any or all of you have preferences?
Or not?

I use to assume by judging a book by its cover.
But today?
It is easier to not assume.
To allow folks to brag,
How they found innocence to declare it...
Believable enough if their eyes were full,
Of sincerity.

You know...
Like a trained dog taught to respond,
For a treat to get.
if they appropriately obeyed correctly,
To the right command once it is identified!
With it done to then become,
The one that does the training to demand...
What it is wanted to expect done.

Today...
People will quickly claim innocence,
After creating to initiate their own problems.
Then want them solved,
By the ones they victimized as enemies.
Oh...
So tempted I am to use that 'mother' word.
With maximum intent!
Those innocent to declare this 'mothers',
Privately confessing...
The true nature of their deceiving druthers!'
