vultures in your skies

When ego expresses it social desire, Narcissistic; compulsive liar. Wrapped in wants needed by others, To fulfill a followers spirit. The lake is shallow, the shore eroded, Life; nothing more than insects and vultures. To feast on a rotting spirit Noble creatures who drink from this lake, Lingering taste; sickness they take, A parade of dark unknown. To taint a soaring spirit Susceptible solely to simplicity, Their web; a shop window of complexity, A world to themselves, attempt at trust, Leave them behind; this you must.
