Asphyxiated by the jagged barbs that society spit
Bleeding eternally from the words you forgot to convey.
The world has created its own crucifixion from our falsification
Drifting in and out of our fairytale lives, everything seems so much easier that way
Choking on the complete distortion of the facts spill from our very mouths
The only destination for these false accounts is into our children’s ears
Incubating hate, pain, sorrow and reasons to discriminate
Pain shed tears pour down upon the masses
Half-truths injected directly into our already withered veins
We lie others die, we die others lie
Upon our deathbeds even the truth cannot let out its stifled scream
We claim to perjure ourselves to make smiles appear
Though the venom may seem sweet, its poison shall be come to term in time
Evil prevails on our lips; our fiction spliced forked tongues licking them in pure ecstasy
Martyrs have become a weekly instalment, in the forgotten memories column
Almost all the great heroes in life have died from someone else’s hands for telling fibs
Then what pray tell are the horrors that await us
All of us tell tall tales, is death the only cure for this epidemic
Or will the TRUTH be the penicillin of the 21st century.

Tomorrow comes for those who fear it.
Today never ends for those who live it.

I do believe in the awakening to love ... we are bound to finally recognize the true power of love. All else is deviant from the Truth.
With the constant bombarding of horror news it is difficult to cultivate hope and act out of love, but if we let ourselves be caught unaware into the stream of revenge, hatred etc. we contribute to destruction.

Powerful piece of poetry.

Love and Light.

…We lie others die, we die others lie…

Powerful and passionate statements. But, is “The Truth” really out there?
Thanks for the thoughts,

A most powerful write, m'friend.
That ending, perhaps merely our elusive dream?
It's wonderful to read you today.
