Listen

Listen.......
Sometimes the dirtiest minds have the sweetest voices,
Soothing the ignorant people captivated by the
Idea of freedom ,equality and dignity.
And these voices are beautifully masked by
plastic wisdom and phoney intelligence,
With an innocent face to show the world.
Your spirit  is their staircase to success,
while you struggle to breath , makes them riches.
Their hands serve a nickel ,to sneak away
with your diamonds.
They draw a line and create a clash,
play with your psyche ,to merry at your misfortunes.
Your own vanity  with idiocy, will feed you a morsel,
to sell your  soul at a price of gravel.
As you fall further and further, they climb higher and higher
All these so smart wretched  beings
caged by their sham morals ,
fall prey  and make the evil The reigning king.
And  those sweet voices continue to whisper,
Nothings to you with soft smiles and black tears,
And when 'I' truth say this to you...
Are you listening…?

There have been people in the world....who are wolves in sheep's clothing. Behind the facade of a pleasing demeanor, they are rogues with a wicked soul who fatten on others sweat and toil. You have given a very realistic picture of the present day world. Thanks Kenisha for visiting my page.
