Ode To Those Not Authentic
Do you lie while staring into mirrors,
Practice brevity and being clearer
With the stories you proudly hold dearer
Than anyone positioned as hearer?
Do you keep tally, a daily tale’s score,
Organize lies told, when, to whom, before?
You must calculate less, figure out more,
To enjoy your earned adrenaline soar.
Keep on grinning, thinking you are winning,
Pat your back for highest score each inning.
Stay strong believing you are not sinning
Cause folks were dumb before your beginning.
Believe yourself master of crafted art.
Live sure about your most dramatic part - -
Attitude – if WE KNEW, we’d WOW YOUR HEART
And POST your PIC FIRST on ‘MOST ENVIED’ chart ...
If you truly lived life, you would know shame
For even air finds your breath a sad feign.
While gentle souls pray light guides those you maim,
Truth waits on dark stains with aim towards your pain.
