The Cup is Empty

many today

have begun to squirm

acting as

the lowly worm

as their secrets

begin to unfold

as finally at last

the truth is told

into the ground

hiding their faces

no longer visiting

their common places

ashamed of themselves

for what they have done

by pretending their actions

affect only one

their selfishness

has finally caught up

and what they are left with

is an empty cup
