Games In Shades of Grey
They say they want to play
their games in shades of grey
as smiles hide their deceit
and lead our souls astray.
The words they speak so sweet
like sugar coated treat
while looking in our eyes
their lies they will excrete.
They tempt us with these lies
and shades of grey disguise
and prey upon our dreams
as they perfect their guise.
With deft, their wily schemes
are played with skill it seems
while feigning to console
beneath the soft moonbeams.
And as they gain control
we slowly bare our soul
and then their laughs beset
for they have reached their goal.
Beware the cunning threat
we mustn’t e’er forget
that games in shades of grey
will lead to our regret.
