cozenage

deception and hypocricy are the most hurtful traits ever

Hone the glaring sword of verbosity

The courteous winds have lifted the veil

The flagrant trumpet have shook the depth of lair

Heinous heist of soul , heinous heist of core

Listless shadows lurk around 

Thronged with deceptive flares

 Tears draw the map of wiles

Eyes bleed brimming questions of penance

Rue for the days , rue for the breathing air

Forbear the dwindling life and let the papers of sorrow rife

There is nothing worse than being lied to, being deceived too and even being a hypocrite. Ugh, even thinking about it makes me mad, ahaha. I loved this so much!

You start out with the glaring sword of verbosity...and take us through to the dwindling life, and the papers of sorrow...
Wow.
This poem is a powerful commentary on our modern times...

Too often we are swindled in life by the fraudulent actions of deceitful people. They are evil creatures. They create sorrow and pain and never look back. You have written a powerful diatribe here. Lydi**
