Planting a seed of deceit to escape the blame,
Even the blind could see the trick in that dance.
Tangled deep in the web of truth-coloured falsehoods,
Dodgy as a broken glass that reflects beauty.
Only the trueness of its heart sees clear the truth~
Giving its forked tongue some time to rue its regret.
Care nor love enough to make a pet dog a pet.
Attention to fakeness won't turn it to truth.
Nothing but pure honesty makes truth a belief~
That deceit has only a few nights of good rest,
Before the truth shatters it into smithereens,
Ensuring lies don’t last beyond dawn’s first crow.
Only truth-coated innuendoes could fool so much,
Unless the ears that hear are clogged with thick wax~
Rolling out deceit as though not meant to deceive;
Pretending it wasn’t intended to sound absurd,
Ensuring that its belief was clouded by lies,
That made a lifeless toy believe it was a pet.

All is well, freedom is being erroded. Shops and independant buisness are punished the two weeks
Of house arrest became two years' so no falsehoods
There' the population were subjected to coerced
Mnra intervention, mental health and school results
Are suffering, but all is well in the u k.?

I don’t see the point anymore to any of this
After all, what’s popular today
will be passé in what seems
the blink of an eye, a heartbeat
even famous faces’ names forgotten in time
The young will take their turn getting old
waking up one morning to discover themselves
considered inconsequential
Such a small window each of us has in which
to make our mark on the world even for just a moment
I went to open mine to find it nailed securely to the sill
imprisoning me in this purgatory
surrounded by boxes in which I’ve packed away
every falsehood I was ever told by those I trusted
“The good you do for others will be returned to you threefold”
“There’s someone for everyone”
“Don’t look for love. It will find you”
“Work hard and do your best and you’ll be a success”
“Fortune favors the bold”
stacked to the ceiling threatening to topple and crush me flat
like a cat in the road under a speeding car’s tires
The world is awash in liars
I wanted so badly to believe that you
weren’t one of them too

bad situations
active imaginations
can kill relations
creating conspiracies
with broad designs to deceive
bloody mockery
shinigami lottery
a dichotomy
of preaching false brotherhood
so others will do no good
trying to obscure
real truths which should endure
facts filled with manure
some choose to communicate
into codes filled up with hate
white lies and false sums
psychological ransom
untruth the transom
when gaslighting has begun
take hostages without guns
multiple faces
yet none which more disgraces
truth which lies debase
dishonor become thy name
as this world is set aflame

My world is different, my world is foreign,
your words do then remind
My vision captive, my soul unpledged,
the music solely mine
Never lonely, but then alone,
my solitude you fear
As strangers swarm around your doubt,
whose falsehoods you endear

"The Honesties and Truths"
truly are
the living proofs
that true treasures
of the heart
can only
these impart!
"The Falsehoods and Lies"
are what happens
when one tries
to con and deceive
with the evil web
they weave!
"The Honesties and Truths"
act like shelters
from rain roofs!
They will keep you
safe and sound
and the devil
they'll confound!
"The Falsehoods and Lies"
one should
avoid and despise
for with these
one cannot win-
they're the
"Ninth Commandment" sin!
"The Honesties and Truths"
will keep you
"Satan" proof
so his weapon
cannot prosper,
nor harm
can it foster!
"The Falsehoods and Lies"
one should
always minimize
and speak only
"Good Word"
proofs of
"The Honesties and Truths!"

Now this is what
I call a speech in the values
that are held inside truth
It's about high time everyone
in this world got of their high horses and wake up
and face the truth and the harsh cold realities
Face of this world we live in corrupted
to the very core of society snakes dwell
standing up for what is right
Light of justice piercing visions that hurt
we all see the face of the fallen ones
the blind begin leading the blind into battle
Faceless to much hate filled with prejudices things need to change
as this world is turning into a dark hole
filled with evil war agendas before long we are to late to act
unrhymed tercets the sighs at the crossroads of three now five steps one away from hell i call it
