We Like to Lie

A short collection of words used to describe one perspective.

Every life is a trapped soul

Reaching out but rarely felt

All under-appreciated

All disrespected

we pass  poison around and get drunk off the cognitive dissonance

It becomes our drug

We like to pretend

We like to lie

We like to pretend not to lie

and we lie for we are pretentious

                                        We strut around with no idea where we are going

We like to point at fools who live as such

We fail to see that tis not a fool but a reflection

The true irony of life is the competition we are in

We race each other to be the winner

Our horse blinders prevent us from realizing we all have different goals

Direction

Competing for different means to different ends.

Truth hurts so we deny

We deny death

We deny the soul

We refuse unity 

and accept poverty

We advocate peace yet condone war

We worship a system we all despise

We hate money but depend on it

We want love but choose not to believe in it

We are a contradiction

Scared, confused and isolated

Scared to admit we are scared

Confused as to who or why we are

and isolated into our homes

Into our cell phones

into our televisions 

We believe our society is more connected now than ever before

Fools to not see the connection was always there never fleeting.

We are one and the same

Illusory connection and interaction is now consuming us

We delve into our screens

Screening us from the real world, from real thought.

   From facing fear and realizing its the mind that is truely powerful. 

It is the mind that is truly free
