Deception

Life is no more than a pocket of lies
As you look into what seems to be innocent eyes
Deception occurs before you
While the truth happens around you

Manipulation is like life
 Powerful beyond measure
And able to make a manageable fit
But only to be deceived

Life is deception, and manipulation
It is human nature
It is fate
It is, life

 An individual can view this as inadequate
As another can view this as the perfect fit
But it is merely survival
It is how we feed our soul to the surrounding terrain
