Tragedy of Self Deceit

Surround in consummation drain cold creation

And gather the droves of many a nation

Beseech in reverence perhaps majesty approaches

Yet crawling through unsettled minds like slithering roaches

The life of abundance never fully abandoned

It would speak glorious convictions if solidly landed

In such light of peaking lies one would fall to shambles

As caught in shades of fallacies and thick brambles

One disintegrates into flowing puddles of poison

Empty threats flit as locked was the choice in

Vicious shards guarding captives into a coerced prison

Impressionable minds find large lies with a small incision

Subtle charisma would offer a comforting room

But sunken defiance carries an unknown tomb

So veiled expertly in a glitzy mask went your eyes

Those lovely words holding no truth clutched you surprised

Wide and empty is the cavernous hole in all men's souls

Advertised plain and clear were the unsinkable holes

As the emptiness reigned in each one's anguish

The subconscious mumbles floated out as vague wishes

Extremities of bright and flurry arrive in deception

No enemies could be found in such heavenly intervention

Covered smoothly are the perceptions of humanity

So laughably easy bends the will for all to see

Ruined the mark people left on history's canvas

When out glided falsehood, none saw amiss

Preached high the words of the false prophetess; every ear heard

And led into blood bathed agony was secretly assured

Exalted high language placed on an admired shelf

Gladness escaped those who watched it praise itself

Garbled expressions reach deafened listeners in pain

But none would signify the clarity to remain

Aside and struck so collapsed to drown in sorrow

Should one not glance to the path of a renewed tomorrow

And find that regarded idols shirk duties of them given god

To stir up embers of the forgotten  punishing rod

Whirled thoughts and deadened ideas fainting away to dismember

Although one might look back on past sins and perhaps remember

Scandalous growth of disturbing content bled their minds

The capability of recessing into goodness has fled from all kinds

Repeated cycle of distraught cabled thoroughly into your blood

Duplication of early faults decimate into unimportant mud

Repression sprung a deadly trap so knowingly undaunted

Even in their phony smile they're left chillingly haunted

Authentically encased in glass array proves to the population

That self deceit is a tragedy dealt to each combined as a nation
