Silk-Wrapped Lies

People feed each other

silk-wrapped lies,

We're all hoping

we can disguise,

That we're all terrified

of our own demise.

Perhaps we should find

a better premise,

If we ever hope

we can distinguish,

That all of the tries

for all of the lies,

They only form

blood-soaked alibi's.

For when one gets hurt

the other cries,

Yet hopefully 

to our surprise,

Enlightenment

will make us wise.
