they lie

You can’t play the game
any longer

When nightfall dips in palest of gold
I feel a sense of indignity,
  As owl's melody  loses its eloquence
Through the absence of a safe abode;

Where is the Peace?

Don’t find peace and love
Why?

The dollars indulgent
as charlatans glisten
Self-interest the mantra
