In Anticipation For Justice

In every beLIEve, there is a lie
Which lay hold on your mind; a tie 
Like sweats dripping from glands to dry 
For feeble is it to live free in forever goodbye... 
Be calm but try to ask why

In every lOVERs' affair, there is an over
But before you'll discover 
Many are times, you've laughed of Oliver 
For his seeming twist in turns recovered 
Now comes your turn to rediscover 
Life is undercover! 

In every friENDship, there is an end 
Buried many reasons of needs to blend
In every little mistake you wish to amend 
In pleasure to bless your partner and commend 
Him off faults but you don't care to pretend 
He can still become a godsend 

In every trUSt, there is an us
Willing to bear the cross
Of all clouded trance of fuss
Where no one is at loss 
Or be tagged a cuss 

In lIFe, there is an if 
That associates knee to knife 
Which surrenders thy lovers to strife 
And tears to keep it dead a tiff
Even if we have a qualified bailiff

Let lie be acceptable if it could save a life 
Why won't end be welcomed to set us free
If trust is an issue to fight without laugh
Then all isn't over but a disguised referee 

But when there isn't space for blunt truth
A place equal for both 
Black and White: elders and youth 
Who will be undaunting to oath 
And caress it like Ruth 

Life becomes miserable to cope 
And a dreamland for a beautiful lost hope
