The Truth

You talk of love With your eyes full of hate You talk of openness Yet you shut your gate You talk of caring Without any kindness You talk of visions But you wallow in blindness You talk of belief Yet change with each season You talk of understanding But with you there's no reason You talk of sharing Yet you always want more You talk of peace Yet you advocate war In words of wisdom You try to drown While common sense Wears a lonely crown So I say to you And your words with no meaning I'd rather listen To someone who's dreaming Dreaming of a world That's a better place Sharing their dreams With honest face.

An example of saying one thing, but meaning another. Weightless words. And yes, I'd also rather listen to someone who's dreaming, at least one can feel their sincerity. Nicely Written, Thanks for sharing.
