L.I.E. (Loyalty Is Everything)

Loyalty is everything & the only thing that matters  
Anything less than that is just unnecessary chatter  
Rather have one's loyalty than claims of loving me  
History's shown the love word is used too loosely  
 
It's a deceivingly clever way of putting blinders on  
While secretly having plans of Children of The Corn  
Spewing scorning words to the herds that'll follow  
Those consuming it, chewing it up & then swallow  
 
Making my heart hollow to the point of no return  
There's lessons in blessings is what I've discerned  
I've earned my Soldier stripes & poetry's my vice  
Telling my story openly & freely giving my advice  
 
Like I.C.E. I'm deporting all foreign to my progress  
Seeking out healthy ways of minimizing my stress  
I confess that it hasn't been the easiest thing to do  
But until I die, to mine ownself I must remain true
