Songs of Deceit

Harp strings
strangling hope

Promises
swept by disease

Followers
who pile lies upon pies

Day and night
a blur

Deceptions
inside lyrics obscured

Sheep's slaughtered
haven't you heard?

I don’t get it. Can someone explain?

A very clever poem Arthur - you remind me of my daughter in laws mother - she always says when my son and Robyn go to Nelspruit (near the Kruger park) to visit them, got to study my English before they come. One a doctor of philosophy and the other honors in English they remind me of you! We have to read your poems very carefully to fully understand and comprehend them! The people you write about sound disillusioned and desperate! You write brilliantly! Poetry hugs, Jennifer.
