the conjurer

across this timeline

the lie it repeats

alive in the subtext 

it seethes ever present

again and again

enough will forget this

over time, 

how the venom inside

how it poisons the mind

collectively, over time

enough loss will be lost

over time, forgotten again

how the lie always comes back, again

how chaos can reign

how blood can be spilled

over and over 

how the conman succeeds

again and again

because we want to believe

but we cannot remember

some things repeat

over and over

we seem to forget

again and again
