Tell Me No More

Friend,
Tell me no more...
Tell me no more about trust,
For trust is a barren risk,
A naked wire,
With no remorse or warranty
Tell me not about truth,
For truth has become a figment of imagination...
Truth has become propaganda, slander and mobbing 
Tell me not about justice,
Justice have become solstice

Friend,
Tell me no more...
Tell me no more...
Tell me not about conscience,
For it is more than an open wound
Tell me not about decorum
What we have is audacity
Tell me not about knighthood,
What we have is dishonor 

Friend,
Tell me not about meritocracy, 
What we have is kleptocracy
Tell me not about love,
For love is cash and carry

My friend,
Tell me not about pain,
For without pain,
There is absolutely no gain
