Painting the Roses Red

This is a small insight of my view on society.

Everyone lies

Everyone deceives

We do it all

For our selfish needs

We cheat and steal

We stab in the back

Humanity slips

It falls through the crack

No one sees

Or hears what was said

We go through life

Painting the roses red

 

We fake it, We pretend

For what we don’t know

Denial is our friend

Reality our foe

Connections are fake

Not a thing do they mean

I scream but no sound

You walk past, I’m unseen

 

We read through the pages

Our eyes scanning the words

But our mind does not follow

Random thoughts are absurd

You stand before

Another pair of set eyes

Sight goes right through

Mindless, numb, it’s all lies

 

You don’t want to see

What it all really means

You turn a cold shoulder

The sheep all convenes

Just close your eyes

It will all be ok

Said the evil that laughs

And mocks life as a play

Wonderfully written regarding human nature and the bad turn it can take on others. Well done!

Holy goodness. That was a remarkable written poem. I don't typically read poems but that was the best one I have read in a long time. Your point was made clear at the beginning and it got stronger throughout the poem. Everything made sense and nothing fell out of place. It was as if every stanza and every line came together like a pair or set. You couldn't separate or substitute. I'm not very good at reading between the lines so forgive me if I miss anything but that poem was pretty fantastic.
