Self-Deception

You believe your lie today and 

    and tomorrow you still believe your lie,

as being your plain truth, then you are embrace

   with the deception of your own creation.

Be not one who lives in the realm of self-deception

    only to realize that your truth is not the 

truth of life.  Nevertheless, you will be one who

   will walk alone and decieve alone and expire from

this life alone.  Oh what a tragedy to exist within.

Have you not described all of us that walk the earth, we all live in an illusion which is our own self delusion. we are oneness only we've forgotten, so are we all not in a state of self-deception and thus believing our own lie's as a collective? good write my friend, thought provoking, the last line is awesome! 'oh what a tragedy to exist within' amen :) love and respect to you
