In the Shadows of the Truth
The truth may not be
what it seems,
when wry words
penetrate innocent
minds and classic
flora
like sweet hemlock,
waits with a secret agenda.
“A labyrinth of schizophrenic
evil of a mind
about to begin”
Take the Pyramids of Egypt
a wondrous sight for all,
who cares about the mayhem
aimless spirits forever to waul
In the throes of womanhood
Delilah! She didn’t really care,
betrayed the local superstar
skillfully removing his hair.
Oration to fool all nations
many lifetimes of deceit,
sacred music tuned into tears
gullible folk a joy to cheat!
Children abused constantly
each atrocity fuels the seed,
for are they not the lambs of God
That condones this very deed?
Young men, emulator of “Hollywood”
Off to war as God-fearing men.
Someone knew Iraq’s secret
deep within valley, hill and fen?
For a hundred years the baron
introduced a most healthful threat,
wrapped around golden Virginian
to help the national debt!
Speech impaired by amber waters
lifelong snares within the hop,
mountains moved to accompany it
so to appease them on the Kop!
Beware you all upon this planet
the greatest threat well down the track,
industrial revolution
empathy disguised a whole new tack..!
