Improprieties

It seems as though your improprieties,
From those standards you valued...
Have come to undo you to do you in.

Anything done you did you had time to correct.
And those blatant mistakes you've made,
Would have long been forgotten with an apology.

Your wish to be seen,
As something other than a human being...
Has left you in a deep ditch.
Along with other hypocrites,
You shared a commonness with.
Mixed and socialized in a doing of discreet business.

Well...
It seems as though your improprieties,
From those standards you valued...
Have come to undo you to do you in.
And what you intentionally did to others,
Had not been a good thing to do...
For the doing you did to get done.
