The innocent look in the eyes of an obvious offender
Staring into the eyes of a noble officer
Hoping to convince the officer of his innocence
His conscience gone into oblivion
The glow of truth in the eyes of a politician
Staring down into eyes of the gullible masses
Hoping to convince them that he is the way forward
His conscience forgotten in the dustbin of time
The look of sincerity in the gaze of a student
Staring down into the eyes of his teacher
Hoping to convince his teacher that his undone assignment has been done but forgotten at home
His conscience gradually pilfered by negative influence around
The look of genuineness in the look of a religious leader
Staring into the eyes of his congregation
Hoping to convince them that his twisted message is the right one
His conscience shattered years ago by the devil himself
The act of deceit
Carefully mastered
By all and Sundry
In our ever changing world

WELCOME ESALA ~ Thanks for you first Poem. I love the "free verse" style and the dynamic flow in the neat quatrains which describe and then destroy a phalanx of DECIEVERS we can all relate to and (sometimes) even identify with ! Offenders ~ Politicians ~ Students ~ Religious Leaders ~ We do indeed live in a False & Falsified Era ! There is much room for thought here ~ Thanks for caring & sharing ~ Yours BRIAN (UK) Please check my Poems ~ Thanks B.
