Nature of Man

The quantity of our empathy shall be derived from the shadows of deceitful acts and lies 

We dare not taunt or question the empathy we feel
But caring and giving in this day and age.
We set our self up for disappointment 
For with feeling it is our heart we wage

We are young and naive
Through all the warnings about mans' kind
We do so easily believe in that there is good in man

But with years gone by the shadows of deceit and lies darken our hearts and lives

Poison has trickled through our youthful optimism and bright smile
Yet only to prove that once again the nature of man has devoured another pure soul.

Life

As we travel through the journey of life
We encounter people strange and wild
We ponder and guess
We disguise and hide
but in the end all shall be seen
from our strengths to our skeletons

Ask yourself "am I hiding or am I true?"
For to yourself you can lie
never showing the real you
But in the end all shall be shone
All your sins
All your faults
For before your maker you shall be ridden of disguise
Ridden of the decay this earth has caused you

Yet there is hope
Strip the disguise and say
"No longer shall I hide!"
