So smart, so charming;
knew what you wanted like I!
Game brilliantly played.
I, hypnotized, fell into
predatory lies; hunted.
knew what you wanted like I!
Game brilliantly played.
I, hypnotized, fell into
predatory lies; hunted.

hypocrite
swears truth in private
only to flip in public
that's virtue— ablaze
only to flip in public
that's virtue— ablaze

if you know; you know
there's no room for "goodness" in a world that's "mad"....

True Colours.
there's honesty in
the shades, hues, depths or brightness
those are real tells

The Headlights
We the People
are like Deer in
the Headlights
we watch disaster
coming down on
us
with Bright Eyes

Conformity
The callousness
Of conformity
Is not lost on me
Suffering from uniformity
The breaking of
The free spirit
Is the tyrants intention
"Be free
Just like me"
Is their inane babble
Blind to the shackles
Bound to their
Neurotic collective conscious
Of conformity
Is not lost on me
Suffering from uniformity
The breaking of
The free spirit
Is the tyrants intention
"Be free
Just like me"
Is their inane babble
Blind to the shackles
Bound to their
Neurotic collective conscious

Do small investors
argue
to the bitter end
sadly believing
they can sit
at the high table
when in reality
when the rules
are suddenly changed
they are laying
on the plate
Uninvited guests
for those who eat
from it
argue
to the bitter end
sadly believing
they can sit
at the high table
when in reality
when the rules
are suddenly changed
they are laying

Uninvited guests

Toxic Waste
Loving you was like eating a candy called toxic waste,
And I’m still choking on the after taste.
And I’m still choking on the after taste.
