The lie you promised
The promise of a new world Lies they tell to keep us in line Easy to control when you abuse people's hope Easy to smile when you have no soul A change in name Is not a change in game Incarceration didn't just happen in a day It was just an evolution of slavery From the scorching hot days on the...

To the Waters, in Faith
He promises to care to the extreme, If I'd drink from His never-drying stream— That I need no coin to purchase or strive, For He said I was made to glow and thrive. As time slithers, wants litter front and rear, And hope keeps fading with each passing year. He says I need not labour hard for bread, Yet my field yields...

Children of broken promises
Title: Children of Broken Promises (25 Lines) They signed their names in ink made of blood, A treaty scrawled on the bones of the poor. They shook hands under marble skies, While cities burned in silent uproar. Children played with bullets for toys, Lullabies hummed in the throat of a drone. A mother stitched hope into her shawl, But war tore the thread and...

Premium Member Promises
I've kept the promises I made Stood steady in the storms Never caved in to the waves First one, then two, even three Never failing, always strong But the one I never got to make Is the one that haunts me still As the precipice approaches I still consider the jump But what once was safe Has become suicide So I'm left with...

YOU TOLD ME
You told me you could never leave You told me you would never say goodbye You told me you never wanted to be free But you told me a lie—just another goodbye Your words were empty, your promises all broken You had me believing, but now I just cry Your ‘I love yous’ were just lies you told” Trying to forget but...

The Call to War or False Promises
The Call to War or False Promises They spoke of honor carved in stone, Of glory waving from a hill. They lit the torch, then threw us in, And called the burning “noble will.” They draped their lies in marching drums, And wrote our names on gilded scrolls, But none could see, beneath the hymns, The hunger swallowing our souls. ...

Bones Beneath the Tower
Inspired by Bob Dylan's "Mississippi" I was the backbone of your dream— ribs shaped into beams, my blood seeping slow, cementing your tower’s base. You promised a sky of stars, a rise beyond all shadows— but I was just a ghost etched in your blueprint, a whisper beneath your tower. We built forever on lies, stacking stones on my shoulders— I was your ground, your silent sacrifice, the...

Through the Dark
Through the dark, Their is a door, Where no one has ever been before, And through that door, Is something unknown, For we don’t know if it is home, My home is leaving, Through that door, Will they ever come back, That’s a question for, Oh they left, On to the next, Is there another door, It's so complex, If they come back, Will they need me less, Will they notice...

Of Love and Loss
Why speak of love with tales so grand, If you never learn to hold a hand? Why make promises sweet and wide, If you never intend to stand by their side? Why is it truth, that only when gone, Do we miss the light we had all along? Is value found only in absence and pain— Do hearts awake only in rain? The...

They Said He'd Change
I held on like the world would end If I let go of the man I called a friend He broke me slow with gentle lies And wiped my tears while making me cry I made excuses I covered the scars Told myself love was meant to be hard They said he’d change and I believed Every promise I blindly received Nights were...
