Mourning Dew

As we live daily, in this world you see,
somethings are not, as they appear to be.
 Some people have masks, they wear very well,
the evil in their tongues, in their lives, you can tell.
 The words they speak, from the company they keep,
kills the hearts of those, who’s counted as Gods sheep.
 With their words as weapons, their tongues made of steel,
roaming about, but to steal, to destroy and kill.
 To put out the light, that shines in the world you see,
all the goodness thats inside, of you and me.
 To wear us down, in the webs that they weave,
in our heart, the stings it truly leaves.
 The stings of death, while we yet live,
till from the heart, love is hard to give.
 To intertwine the good, and evil’s, again you see,
how it truly kills the light, in you and me.
 The light is the Truth, that guides our path,
it keeps us from being, a creature of wrath.
 To be different, a creature of Gods beauty, we are to remain,
as from the ways of our own darkness, we refrain.
 For the masks, are many, and true people are few,
and when the time of our darkness is over, the sun drinks up, it’s mourning dew.
