Submission
scratch, scratch
strike a match
throw it in
and burn the batch
lies, lies
an orphan cries
loveless words
made to despise
scare, flare
from here to there
likely tale
that goes nowhere
books, cooks
bishops, rooks
games played now
by saints and crooks
lies, flies
a prophet dies
holy writ
as moon star rise
reason, season
almost treason
heralding in
a winter season
lies, lies
death and flies
loveless beast
in light’s disguise
wake, shake
the sleeping snake
light and truth
reveals the fake
