Dirty Laundry

Dirty Laundry
© N Noël Mar 2010

Dirty laundry swinging in the wind
Dirty laundry full of past and present sin
Aired out daily trying to reprise
Stains embedded along with selfish pride

Smells so foul rotten to the core
Secrets and lies buried behind closed doors
Sucks out the living weighs you down
Dirty laundry pile upon pile
Oozing, dripping, spewing verbal bile

Like sweat soaked baggage you can’t get clean
Dirty laundry words, thoughts and actions
Others say they didn’t mean

Covered up shame is what they project
Washing out faults with others efforts
Thoughts of guilt have no affect
Dirty laundry like a one night stand
Another’s hurt, loss or pain
Means full pockets all for hollow personal gain

Like sheets once white now tattered and torn
Dirty laundry some choose to adorn
Wearing it proudly Sun-up to Sun-down
Living a life misguided they think is profound
A joke to most they can’t even see
Trying their best not to air their Dirty laundry

Dirty laundry swinging in the wind
False words no truth within
Dirty laundry flying high
Clothing self in a wardrobe of lies
Feeding off others is how you shine
Thinking life owes you, sad so vile

Dirty laundry words, thoughts so unkind
Soon washed out left swimming in stink
In your own Dirty laundry pure rhetoric Filth
Flying high once upon a time
Your own actions leaves you left hung out to dry
