Honest lies, which destroy life
Humanity befalls upon silence spiraling down.
Candor: regarded as strife.
A single truth, bestows but a frown.
As people fall onto society’s knife,
Liars reign supreme upon the world’s crown.
Lonely truth-tellers fall from rusty rungs
While serpents deceive with forked tongues.
Wars of words clash with dooms
For a mere truth telling looms.
Society has never learned from the apple
Now we naught but steal, kill, and grapple.
A peaceful solution must made!
To death, the lies must be laid.
To the past there must be an answer
but truth eludes like a sly dancer

I have a vision held dear
yet it is, like mud, very clear.
It occurs amid heavy violence
but there is naught but silence.
The death of society will come at last
People scream as bodies cluttered
Liars are losing their grip of the past
A single truth has been uttered
Is this a small whisper from a bug
Or just another of society’s drugs?
Liars live as truth burns
Will this world never learn?
