Zen Mode

those who hope
we will conspire
with wrong doing
they do trust us
but we must deny
as gently as able
that negative karma
may not so accrue
for they know not
what we do

sometimes we may cause
hearts to be estranged 
not ours but theirs
but no matter
life tests and jests
within this lucid dream
