Doublethink deceit

broken promises
expectation belied
heart feels anguish
for we have been to lied

double think deceit
where lies the fault line
to aggrandise ego 
did not love for love pine 

if earth life be a play
by God scripted
is not our consciousness 
by each encounter uplifted

some hands hurt us
whilst others heal
why then are we not vibrant
at each point on the Ferris wheel 

when someone tells a lie
why is our eye judgmental 
to propel our soul’s growth
was not the wound instrumental

after betrayal we forgive
only for self-healing
instead offer loving embrace
invoking God’s grace appealing 

oh worthy hermit
rise above the mundane
know we are spirit not form
let love and light reign

Second verse so poetic…double think deceit… the meeting of souls, certainly not the same as inanimate objects…we get a first peak, perhaps something to overcome, decide if we want to look deeper. Fave
