Who am I

Do you really know

Am i sincere

Or is it all a show

Ideal employee to the boss

Superdad to my boy

Great husband to my spouse

I'm everybodies toy

Spend Sunday in the pulpit

Spreading the good news

Real or facade

It's up to you to choose

Truth is I'm a sinner

A very wicked man

But i hide it well

It's part of my master plan

I'm robbing my employer

I despise that I have a son

I am cheating on my wife

I break hearts for fun

As for the ministry

I'm a wolf among the flock

I appear to be loving

But it's all poppy cock

This is the real me

So in conclusion

The good you see in me

Was all just an illusion

When it is finished

You will realize

Behind my masks

Was just cold vacant eyes

surreal poetry

About the Creator

Jim Moon

Redeeming my past, 1 day at a time.
