A Empty Promise

They speak lies and deal in pain.
Ask for your confession .
Yet torment  the week and insane.

Preaching  to thoose who need hope.
A dealer in disguise.
So clever is his dope.

Hands apon the innocent  rules without reason
lead to a perverts desire.
Fancy robes  burn just as fast  within hells fire.

A idea  so good thought.
A tombstone left is a marker.
Trust in the father  is what we were taught.

And old trunk and a empty promise 
only take space.
The soul when broken.
Is just another empty damaged place.

I feel your emotion very solid Ken, the heart can't take the damage of empty promises for too long, so how do we protect ourselves from it?

The outer garment is not the proof of the personna inside, for sure Ken. I am sorry if you've been deceived in that way personally. But the truth is, there are some vile personna's which are derived of the vile mind out there, dress outwardly in sheep's garment. Sincerely, Moses
