captain of the cheerleaders

she was the high school
monitor her whole life.

captain of the cheerleaders.
turning people in for
what she deemed as
bad behavior. smoking
behind the school.

wagging her finger
at strangers, or friends
alike. telling them, no, you
shouldn't be doing that.
texting at the light.

you should be living
your life at a higher
standard. stand up straight.
listen when i talk to you.
don't roll your eyes at me.

stop chewing your gum
and tapping your foot.
stop reading that.
or watching that, you're going
to infect your brain.

let's get going, we're going
to be late for mass again.
be like me, an angel of light.

but it was perfectly fine
for her to lie and cheat,
deceive and betray,
to sleep with  
her neighbor for years,
a married man.

she's going to hell on a speed
pass, i do believe.
