Hypocrisy to the core

“Dear, see him, a distinguished guest.”
She introduced to her husband the man,
Who came to their son’s wedding.

“Son, he is, whose younger sister was
my playmate in my school days”

Son and father bowed their heads in respect.

She and the man reminisced their
Teenage romance and infatuation.

I was a personal witness

How hypocritical the world is!
