A Life Lived By The Great Lie September, 25, 2002 Copyright 2002 Doug Pretorius a darkness has settled upon the minds clouding and confusing the truth to sinster depths the gloom descends casting its blanket of doom over the heart this demon lie is told by multitudes by parents to children generations on in its wake hopelessness and waste lives thrown away to the winds of unreality blown hither and thither the peoples are a rudderless ship on the sea of broken dreams and sunken faith belief in greatness fades into the mist as the gleam in a child's eye slips into adult cynical drudgery up, out, work, sleep... up, out, work, sleep... up, out, work, sleep... punctuated with little more than the occasional drunken fever a life lived by the great lie |
