oh the lie



oh how they tell us lies
to us ours yours n mine
they make us forget the end we meet in time
it's our sharing in the fact we all die
to forget our endless demise
 at last to share treasures n feasts with our feelings in paradise
to have lived learned lost n loved emphasized
now light of death has taken our lives
it convicts us to lie steal traumatize hurt n kill
to worry about empty paper,materials,a thirst never able to fill
not knowing to those have sinned the true potential of their honest will
for not knowing endless love caused their heart to become an animal fist of instinct n hate
they will know light blindingly in the dark till to late,now to those who watch the worlds worst list
wage war on ideas of religions,creeds they seem to miss
miss the fact we become immortal to the eyes of our coming, idea of a fruitful kiss
they see us as God's on high not understanding yet their young lives
by this right we should bear the task of instilling the truth of this lie
we fade away, we try say
