In the Guise of Loved

Substitution in the guise of love
deceit for a life time
for all the things they want

And there’s nothing they can tell you
from what little do they know
only to accept you
as if they would grow
and mature into 
you

For the dumbest puppet
has tiny hands and unsteady feet
and it’s so easy
to oppress the weak
so easy to inject them
in the guise of loved
so as possessions to own them
with the trick or treat
make decision for them
and decide their fate

Subversion of identity
a body, a personality
and love by dangerous venom
intercedes

So easily to control them
distill them
and give them direction    

Give them all you have learned
everything you earned
resolutions of the state
teach them to walk in the footprints
someone else has made

For the dumbest puppets
do not know how they see
so it is by the careless it is
to slap the weak
no answer back can’t even speak
and let them stumble
clumsy until they learn
they only have tiny little hands 
and are so unsteady on their feet
 
Then by loved
all responsibility relinquish
fill their heads with garbage
tattoo and pierce them another pill
stamp them on the treadmill
and feed them on the dreams
do you remember those dreams
you could not fulfill

Love them by you are mine
subversion of individuality
an adult someday, a personality
and love by dangerous venom
intercedes


“ Love requires a commitment
to meet the challenge of dealing
with another human being ” Anonymous.
