A Yorkshire Poet Poet Free verse

Deceitful Deeds

For what is it we find, what is it we feel?
When in the world of men the lie means so much 
more than the truth we need to heal

For what burned and poisoned lands lie dormant 
in their yields?
When the promises of men stray like wisps of 
wind in the valleys and over the fields

For what truth is left to find in a world of deceitful 
deeds?
Has man lost his will to drive a stake through evil 
when light shows where evil is concealed?

For what is it we need? Has humanity lost its path 
because of selfishness and power greed?
Under the bright light of the moon do we choose not 
to hear history scream in our coldest darkest dreams?

For what is it you want, do you think it’s the same 
as me?
For your children to live a life where the lives they 
have are theirs and the dreams they have are free?
