Five Lies

The first lie is this verse

The second lie is life

The third lie is a number that is more than the sum of man divided by Time

The fourth lie is the promise made in love.

The fifth lie is Time. Time is an invention of man, and means nothing.

The sixth lie is mine; a man more than his ancestors before him, less than his sons in front of him.

The seventh lie is Valentines. Valentines is truths from the heart, always broken.

The eighth lie is evolution.

The ninth lie is religion.

The tenth lie is Death.

Five lies, five truths.
Which five lies are for you?
Which five truths will you choose?

My five lies are 1,3,5, and 9
But I always live my lies unevenly, and, if I can, in rhyme.

A Human's Duty

How tragic can life be. Love, death, war I find no point in murder, Everyone has their own time Do we need to interfere. I find love to be a farce Why would something so sweet Taste so bitter.

What's In A Lesson?

#nightdwellers. What's been and done has already passed. You can't undo what won't ever last. What's been found and lost can always be brought. But borrowed visions can't be taught.
