Still Waters
STILL WATERS
Cautious on a determined curious observation
Ceaselessly burying my mind in the grave of fables
A believe that truth lies within the ambit of rumours
Obsessed with this stupid incessant search for the truth
Stupid! They said; more stupid it visibly appears
Only the death of the faithful will be laid at the feet of the unfaithful.
There is an escape path; but we always come back
No matter how far we run; the truth runs after us
It will only take a day to restore normality; just a wish
Maybe if wishes were horses; the destitute could ride
Just as wishes keep being wishes; the poor becomes poorer
Imagination is more important than knowledge; the patterns are invisible.
The early warnings came earlier than expected
We read the will to forgive our enemies; not our friends
She is harmless; at least, so I assumed for long
She is one of a kind; one not capable of deceit; I thought
In for more than a surprise; she did the unthinkable
The sayings now understood; still waters run deep...
