Mind Games Ends

Moral mature beings know the image of self
Internalized and sustained. Their purposes hold
Naturally against the whispering demon elf
Determined that all fire that comes brings gold

Glossy tongues and unstable minds then decry
Anxiety for what they cannot have or keep
Mind games flipping our persona like a leaf dry
Evicted from place to place, words cheap
Swearing to love for but the pleasure of attention.

Enemies of truth are falsehood's friend, your vows
Naked of character, made sinsiter persuasion
Denied itself loyalty, and kept friendship with sows
Sinister pranks for profit only of pickled vanity.
