Bought To Buy And Believe



So many rely on rumors.
Bought to buy and believe.
So many invest in living lies.
Sold as told to deceive.
No matter what the truth.
Even if it's clear enough to see.
Up and in their faces.
Clear enough to see.

So many claim they have faith.
But what is it kept faithful.
So many wear their labels.
To imitate and fake.
And everyday they masquerade,
A life lived...
To charade!
All day.
And night long.

Few these days want to be seen,
Being who they are to be.
Few these days want to be seen,
Without disguising their false faces.
All day.
And, night long.
Few these days want to be seen,
Being who they are to be.
And yet they are the same ones,
Claiming gone is all reality.
Gone.
To live it.
As if afraid to be,
Themselves.
To live it.
As truthful as their faith is claim to be.
All day.
And,
Night long.
Without deception hiding falsities.
As a life to fight to live it.
Disguising falsified.
As a life to fight to live it.
Hiding falsified!
All day.
And night long.
Going on!
