A Mouth With Baggage

Owned by a soul which is but a mirror with numerous cracks producing adulterated words and staged expressions transparency has been given numerous stretch marks from its tongue which guns down actuality its lips so insensitive and always paralyzing reality with the thongs of imagination, hooks of inventions and blades of omission Sweet stories expressed with award-winning gestures but as concrete as a duplex on a wooden foundation the compilation never ends with the Brain’s memory strained as every event only exist in the stores of its mind and fetched by the exodus of its false sentences

Wow! Brilliant poem! I've always loved the saying, "Lord, keep your arm around my shoulders and your hand over my mouth."

You've hit the proverbial, "nail on the head", with this one, Funom. "transparency has been given numerous stretch marks". So true...beautifully done.
