Disgruntled

He is not the first or the last...
To stun,
By telling what he knows is true.

Nor is he the only one...
To be labelled digruntled,
By those feeding delusion...
In their high priced silk worn suits!

He could have stayed,
And continued the betrayal...
In dismay.
But a sense of integrity,
He had to pursue.

And now he has been declared embittered,
By proclaiming
He and others have represented dishonesty.
And that was wrongly by them pursued!

And yet,
His admissions...
For whatever the ambition,
Had for years
Kept others ostracized and shunned.

Defamed they were and claimed,
To be nonconformists!
But it is much too late...
To backtrack and replaced,
To undo the destruction
And the killing that's been done!
