How Now

How Now?
Innocence dies
Deceit prevails

How Now?
Sincerity Forsaken
Duplicity awakens

Enticed with:
Notable flaunts,
Avaricious wants

Stirred by:
Alluring smiles,
Deceitful wiles

Bounded by:
Ruthless deeds,
Venomous needs

Why Try?
To rinse thy soul
When all good can so by far be replaced
And after evil, so blissfully we chase

For you see....
A true massacre is about to take place
And not a single face
Not a single trace
Would sway a heart of a corrupted race....
                                                                                      ~M.M.M
