Bitter Sweet Words

Embellished, shined, publicized Display put on their empty core Listen! You must abide laws. (Seize!) The narrative of freedom, a screen. Adore something you know nothing about Honey like texture of sweat and sour Fools your taste of flavor, makes you devour Your truest nature, freshness, born greatness. Smell their petals of fragrant flowers. Hear their robust voice, a rallying cry Rejoice in their sweet flavor of right. Layers and layers on top, engineered Made to seem bright, a call to arms. (To our demise!) Heed the bitter sweet words Their sentient nature, Their abomination of truth.
