Glass House of Cards
Spiked by the normal do as I say not as I do mentality that drives me nuts.

In a glass house of cards you've not but regrets
Nothing is sacred, not even your secrets.
Bring you to heal the cast of the coward
Your secrets are safe,
Unless the caster you’ve empowered.

But someone with malice, a stone in their grasp
Shall cast their derisions to shatter your glass
Believe in your refuge glass house roof and walls
Remember this always, it’s the caster who falls.

Know this for true a stone caster is scared
They too have a glass house they want to be shared
Secrets abound in their dwellings as well
Things they are certain will send them to hell.

Dark and damp down beneath the foundations
A secret is hiding so grim and ungracious
The lie began small but then it did snowball
Down hill the lie roars no controls to break-fall.

Card houses are fun when built small or quite tall
The purpose is simple, entertainment for all
A glass house on the other hand puts you on display
Your secrets get out, and you can't make them stay.

But a glass house of cards be it one or more stories.
The tenant inside has much bigger worries
By design it is destined to crash-in and to fall
Pay heed to my words friends, they’re wisdom for all.

Don’t build your glass house over two story's tall
And try to keep at least one load-bearing wall.
When secrets come out and the stories do fall
The ground floor is doomed for one and for all.
