I see a lie in our world

Every is painted white

A world of odium and disguise

A theatre of the conceited

Various actors emerge

 

 

I see a lie in our world

A celebration of flamboyance

Below is a fool

Above is all

Trampling is the fad

 

I see a lie in our world

Simple is exaggerated

Once a slave

Now a bad ruler

Little regret

 

 

I see a lie in our world

Emotions crushed beneath

They should be serving us

The reverse is the case

They say “Life is not fair”

 

I see a lie in our world

Change an unwanted visitor

Truth the resident foe

Cleansing is expedient

But who will initiate?
