Truth of a Lie

Varying shades of you I see As the catwalk goes by on a roller coaster Ascending and descending,moving to and fro Laying in wait for the lucky victim Happy happy would he be ever after He shall only see through rose-scented spectacles Oh, what an utopia! Perfect. The already made one As the elevator walked on in silence The earth spinned You slipped and fell What a mighty thud it was The heavens shook as the earth raged The worm pox opened,they started crawling from the rot The stench of you. Bones cracked open with filtering hisses Like a stemming kettle-pot,shawls upon shawls The facade of you fell crashing Oh!What an eyesore you were Your nose couldn't just stick You picked it for the umpteenth time,the more of you... The less of you Cuz you're but the truth of a lie
