Confusion such a beautiful tool of deception
Saying one thing but meaning another
Hated looks in a mirror’s loving reflection
Smiling innocence wishing a person ill
Confidence building on a crumbled foundation
Living positively in a death wish

On a beach of inner reflection
The grains come together
Molding to the contours
Of solid foundations
No deception needed here
For the magic does not lie here

In a mask of continued existence
To deceive is everything
For surviving soap opera’s
The wicked witch must cast her evil spell
On her twin’s virgin pure innocence

Counterfeit tears shed all so willingly
Human compassion in sheep’s clothing
The prince in Monopoly money
Promoters in billions
Of fairy tales

Corruption of the receptive mind
A beautiful tool
Of confusion

Thought: The truth is but a sham for others to justify themselves, for truth does not need an alibi.
