Rhetoric
get over it
I must confess
double tongue
I'm on the run
I don't eat raw fish
Speculated observers must think I'm rich
Just cause though because I eat caviar when I take a bath
Such lies what's up my eyes covers my skin
That's why I'm not bathing
Shall I commit
Truce and not spit
Get over it
Rhetoric
2/7/21/written words by James Edward Lee Sr © 2021
You can smile and fool the world and play the
victim in disguise.
Twist the truth with your double tongue and hide
behind your lies.
Abuse the ones that love you and hurt the ones
that gave you care.
Leave behind the people that have always been
right there.
Burned the bridges you have walked on destroyed
every friendship you have had.
Demolished every cheerful thought and transferred
happiness for sad.
Psychologically provoked emotions like an emo
with an empty glass.
Conjured misery and false devotions memories of
failures past.
Loneliness grabs the hands of times in a struggle
to slow it down,
But reality awakens pain as the fall breaks the
ground.
Vicious hearts give way to nothing lessons are
hardly learned and lived.
So it drowns itself in pathetic's sorrow and hardly
learns to give.
It continues clogging every artery as the blood is
thickened by hate.
And soon the force of life diminishes into a voided
state .
Just another statistic falling out of date
A no one a no body a lost in the palm of fate
If you ever heard of this story
If you ever felt the presence of a stranger
If his words were soft and kind
And you could see him smiling in his eyes
Lookout and be careful
The eyes are not the window of the soul
Nor are words as innocent
As you may take them
By crafty words men will deceive you
And for the lack of knowledge you will perish
Yes men will try to outfox you
Because it takes a fox to catch a fox
Men watch for me
Lookout I am coming
Just wait a minute
I’ll be right there
No wait maybe tomorrow
If I ain’t too busy
I’m sorry I had a lot to do today
Please be patient
Don’t worry my word is good
I’m not like those who speak with a double tongue
Think about the missions we’ve been through together
I have always treated you with mercy
Have I not?
