Great Lie

By: @christyn


Crowding poets
Captures the heart of men
The soul of the universe
Beginning to end

Literary battles
Of beauty and pride
Telling lies
Chasing mercy

Pens are mighty
Yet brains are dull
Though calloused hands
Eat like dirty rats

Words unspoken
Distorted facts
Blaming others
Save a great lie

Where does it end
A wish for truth
Disguised by presence
Totally nonsense
