A FEW Jealous People

So painful it must be,
To have those discretions disclosed.
There and scrutinized,
With no exit to run and hide.

And a pride that has been kept,
To manifest sacred and whispered secrets...
Can no longer be done,
Under microscope used by snooping folks stunned.

So painful it must be,
To have those discretions disclosed.
There and scrutinized,
With no exit to run and hide.

Every detail hyped with facading intentions,
Seem to reveal such depth of deceit.
Every detail hyped with facading intentions...
Releases more incredible maneuvering done,
Beyond and passed by...
The eyes of sleeping sheep.

And a pride that has been kept,
To manifest sacred and whispered secrets...
Can no longer be done,
Under microscope used by snooping folks stunned.

'I can not believe or accept what is being said about 'us'.
They are saying we advocate corruption and violence.
And 'we' are responsible for our undisciplined,
And disrespectful children.
And listen to this,
This is most appalling...
THEY are even saying we condone decadence,
That has become a part of our quality of life.
I am ENRAGED! '

~Calm down, honey!
First of all...
Who are THEY? ~

'A 'few' jealous people,
Who are envious of our way of life.'

~Well...
There you go.
You said those key words...
'A FEW jealous people'.
Ignore them! ~

'Honey...
You are so right!
Why am I getting so worked up,
Over a 'few' comments made by disgruntled people...
Who will never see it from our point of view.
Why am I looking at this TV channel anyway? '
