House of Loneliness

Misery and jealousy
lurk in the bedrooms here.
Black and eerie,covered with drapes.
No light allowed in here.

The parlor is a wonderful sight,
Pretty pictures on the wall.
Flowers everywhere.
It is just a sabotage
to get you to the bedroom there

They suck you in and tell you lies
to make you feel sorry for them.
They drown you in booze
and teach you to hate
so you can be one of them.

Beat up a wife, envy your friends.
Hate your siblings for having 
something.
You want to be hateful
when others have what you don't.
Pick on people for nothing!

All these things that I have listed
will get you in this abode here.
Sadness and misery and loneliness
lurking in the bedrooms here.
