Emptiness by oniguguru(m): 7:25am On Nov 17, 2013 |
Emptiness The pretty things our minds crave for The beautiful faces our hearts adore The ugliness and irritation that others bore And the truth in things we'll rather ignore Emptiness in all, like a forgotten dream The fear of losing and the taste of victory The blood of the innocent and a killer's misery The vanity in lust and a thief's supposedly bravery And that stolen loot from our public treasurey Emptiness in all, no matter how real they seem The call for the head of another being The monsters in us we deliberately cause to be seen The things we cause to alter the truth to win The love we turned sour that was hitherto green Emptiness in all, that all boils down to our cries for a greater self esteem. http://oniguguru..com/2013/08/emptiness.html?m=1 |
