Sweet Lies Whisper Death
Slaughtered by tongue
Drunken words lead astray
We all see them
The maggots crawling
Upward in droves
Up your white suit
As you talk down to
All those that watch you
Little lies whisper
Quiet as the dead
Blind followers float
Tucked into their deathbed
The black-hole-shadow
Cast from a great ego
Led hope to hang itself
Evergreens wither slow
This rancid disease
Grown from the root
Of all evil
Watered with tears
Of grieving people.
Drunken words lead astray

The black-hole-shadow
Cast from a great ego
Led hope to hang itself
Evergreens wither slow
This rancid disease
Grown from the root
Of all evil
Watered with tears
Of grieving people.

The author encourages honest critique.
Compelling, it surrounds my feet & ankles. A bystander, currents of its chill starts to ascend my limbs as I await the pull of vortex.

I understand that:) Anonshadow. The corruption of one even as he expound on righteousness.

Indeed, it's always so frustrating when those who claim to be righteous turn out to be corrupt. Thanks for reading me, Grace. I very much appreciate you taking the time to do so:) ~anonshadow
