And For What?

Poem Artwork

How eloquently they wax


Words dripping from pens freshly inked


Romancing notions of greatness


Spinning falsehoods into pseudo truths


Mesmerizing the masses


Obliviously accepting feel-good lies


They prey on idealistic minds


Secretly musing at their naivety


Seeking never lasting control


Living in denial of wrong doing


Reveling in a power ever fading


Forsaking salvation with every word


And for what?

"And For What?" This is sharp! An intriguing revelation... Reality could be the name... A composition bearing wise words of the one that wets his quills in a jar of wisdom's ink.

Thank You, Poet!

HEALTHY HAPPY NEW YEAR!
