Forged Unity

The blind self righteous scald dreams The rotting of robotic conformists Shadowing every new dawn Weaving the web of lies snaking around the necks of the sentenced The punishment of invisibility A life confined to the masks of the ball While the truth overwhelms Alive in the hearts of the condemned Shrunken beneath the shadows The intensity of their happiness hidden Their secret suffering in shrouds As they are painted grey The truth in their eyes removed And shackled to the lines of society Marching the imperceptible boxed walls It is melancholic march of the heart wrenched The unjustified price in avoidance of the public hanging At the revealing of our truth

Truth hurts but it beats the masquerades. I believe we are all guilty at times of not being honest with ourselves.
