Double Exposure
Auto shutter the eyes,
keep a closed lid focus on things
Develop a darkroom view,
a negative attitude
Get inured by the lies,
lips constantly twisted tongue clicking
Shadow eyes coin flipping,
changes the message snapshot disguise ...
closure of the thought aperture
Double exposure,
less light
it seems is what blind people want more
Double talk bending ears over,
shutter close the closet darkroom door
Hidden motives do remain secure,
secretly tucked away
Bifurcated zoom action
always gon capture the pose cure
Time delay motion,
promises of bringing truth to light
is darkly spoken
Common sense lens notion,
the rich care not of the poor plight
Empty words be film tokens —
8mm of cynical emotion
Double exposure
ain’t never ‘bout capturing the truth
Open the door to the darkroom,
lift your eyelids up and see
the light reveal the double cross proof
