Mama Lied

Mama,
It’s Festering Smiles!
What a beautiful sight.

Mama,
I rocked ignorance in style
And the crowd went wild!

Mama,
Can I go for a swim
And live in the sea?

Mama,
Numbers lie
And numbers collide.

But you lied too Mama.
Life is too long
But happens in short bursts

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
