Effective Etiquette

Representing a decadence this is...
Represents its existence,
As it is and this is clear.

To uphold values and standards,
Many rush to come to defend...
Is hypocritical in presentation.
When a marketing of decadence,
Does not offend.

Until...
One elected,
To sit in a prestigious position...
Lies and denies a taste for lust.
With an innocence trusted,
Adored by those upper crust.

But...
That trust becomes busted.
And pretentiousness kept,
Becomes betrayed.

And those who know...
Their values and standards,
Meet an acquired effective etiquette...
Are seen to be embarrassed,
By a smearing done to their politcal correctness!

Oh...
What a feeble web they live to weave.
