Sold dreams of an unreachable reality
In the end deception was the game

Treachery brought along.

go hide amongst treachery,
take all give nothing
now laws passed to protect you,
only the blameless; guilty.

grass is cyanide green and trees howling haunts of vampires green,
blooms are in danger red,with wicked smiles and killer fragrances that are mean....

the number of the beast
vexillium of soldiers
marching without souls
debauchery, treachery
destroying all they see
look to your left
then to your right
they look like you and me...

arid desert does surround
this perfect imperfection

a diabolical requiem...

Who was famous for disgusting feats of treachery
Set fire to a cat
While it burned he just sat
As the cat was launched on an airborne trajectory

while tailing an orchestra of dinosoars 
one secretly turned to you 
and invited you into a cave 
to watch his favourite act;

plays delicious treachery, 
behind a deceiving laugh.

And let my blood spill on the chosen ground
The blade he holds shall be a slayer of mine
To save you from the treachery I found

Treacherous strong winds
Wind untamed, wild and cruel,
Invisible strength.

Leaves swirl, dance, and spin,
Branches groaning under weight,
Nature’s treachery.

Path fraught with danger,
Wind howls, warns of deception,
Unseen perils lurk.

Here within my hand,
you will find all that is me.
Held open so you know,
I hide no treachery.
My fist is not in anger,
but closed against greed.
My handshake is my word.
My hand plants many seeds.

A bomber during history's dark time
World War II, a disgusting crime
We must all be sure so as not repeat this treachery

seeing the treachery of our governments
who do nothing, as if it is 1941 again.

She never did say, I could just tell
Fear of the unknown, held her without bail
A heartbeat so proud, subdued without sound
Longing to speak..she walked away from a man

For love and all its treachery 
In silence unheard...
