Nothing as it seems

Opening with complete ignorance
With a loop like tolerance
Most likely with Vengeance
Lace with an effect of balances

The choices of no obedience
No room for obvious clearance
Noting that there is no more chance
The thought of evil romances

Leaving a thought that may
An equivalence of being a prey
When things come with hope that say
A final abrupt stop in decays

The final outcome of a dream
The flow of beautiful stream
Then a burst of angry steam
Things never are what it seems
