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.

Rhyme scheme...
