The Deceivers Play

The deceivers play with the receivers The fakers are all the takers The greedy abuse on the needy The sheep are prey for the wolves to keep Abortion a contortion of a fast fix Killing for the willing just for kicks Rape an escape for the twisted The abandoned are underhanded and blacklisted Love afloat on an Angel’s wing As the earth does carousingly cry The birds still joyfully sing As the lachrymal watch us die The heavens are full of laughter When the saddened get never after Rise you children of the dark For it is time for you to embark. A dust bowl for the rust soul The care free shall stare and see The huddled hurt within the cuddled dirt For we must minister to the sinister.
