Delusional Tool

He has made such a mess of things.
How dare he expose,
Our dirty clothes.

He brings attention and demeans.
And discloses,
Truth we oppose.

Popular he may be.
And yet he stings.
He speaks with too much honesty.
And that discomfort to us he brings.

He has made such a mess of things.
How dare he expose,
Our dirty clothes.

He brings attention and demeans.
And discloses,
Truth we oppose.

With ammunition given,
To our enemies they use.
Showing us to be beneath perfection.
And perfect we are.
Since this is what we will always choose.

Our filthy laundry has always been ours...
To hide and deny.
Who is he to determine,
Our way of life...
Has been a delusional tool?

His truthfulness is appalling.
