Why not come hither
break bread with clean hands
if thine self feel worthy and true
if sincerity and honesty grace your grace
if thine intentions are lily pure and honourable
if thine words and acts seek company with harmony and peace
But nay!
You cannot do this
For you buy your wares from charlatans
and your words you borrow from deceivers
like a Turncoat you sit at the table with glass-eyes
and bathe in the murky ponds of round heads and spiteful hate
Be gone!
sacrifice thine worth
for in the midst of scoundrels the drinks flow
as you dance together in heady pretense and gullible skits
they feel your back for the soft spot awaiting the dagger's point
when the music stops your fate awaits to pay the ferryman at dawn
In mindful soul agleam
holding enlightenment sanguine
tis neither rivalry of trenchant or usurping a realm
in blazing veracity condemnation of innocence thus edified
alas, this is no game for cowards and the lost minded tied in hock
to be hung drawn and quartered comes in different guises and stuck
But yeah!
They have done this to you
your mind is no longer yours
a slave for batter where freedom are chains
extra plaything passed around, play and return to shelf
for thine worth is skin deep at the gala of the masqueraders' ball
not many are made to wear diamonds for them its merely a stone
