Love & Lies

For your love is nothing much but inclined desire
Through an ice cold trench with my mind on fire
Water turned to wine, Then wine transformed to whiskey
An entire empire built with powder; A hollow shell that's empty

The smart, They like to talk about the foolish, and the witless

But it's not so dumb you see, For the wise, They like to listen
The birds will sing at dawn, but the owl will hunt at night
So much anger in their words, It's absurd they love to fight

Maybe it's an insight of the hate they bundle up inside
Could we eventually unite under the same reasons we divide?
And what's all this about fate, Is it true that we decide?
So many angels that I met but were merely devils in disguise

Their tongues, They speak of peace, Why doesn't anyone consider it?

But behind closed doors, You see, They wage war among the innocent
Arrogant with ignorance, None tend to seek deliverance
'Do What Thou Wilt' they claimed, Drunk on power, Most belligerent

Don't look at similarities, Instantly focus in on differences

One little act of kindness could make someone's day significant
This house of cards they built will one day meet the breeze
Some will try to inhale, but can't, Then finally see their need to breathe
For love is but a gamble, See there is no guarantees
But you need to let it move you, like the wind blown through the trees
It's infectious, This disease, Can't you see that it brings peace
So love abroad far as the stars, and deeper than the sea, Love free

A read which is truly going to leave me in thought. Your selection of words was captivating and left me wandering the night sky. An amazing piece of work!
