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.
