Depth Charge

Depth Charge 3/26/2014

At the bottom of a lake

And at the bottom of the sea

There are secrets

And there are lies. 

No one but God

Knows the secrets

Hidden In the hearts of men

At least not for now.

Everything I do

And every word I type

Is taken somewhere else

Stored and searched

For loyalty or crimes.

But if I am loyal to a lie

Then what have I become?

Nothing but a mindless drone

Lethal, soulless and dead.

We are the unprotected

And our secrets

Will never be safe

Keeping us paid

And keeping us in line.

But spies won’t catch

Any criminals

And it won’t catch

Any killers. 

They walk among us

Immune and protected

While the good are singled out

For occulted sacrifice. 

The truth is all around us

And yes it really matters

In our choices and in our lives

Above, below

And deep inside the soul. 

Sometimes you can see the intentions

And sometimes you cannot

And even the most alert and vigilant

Have been murdered in their prime.

Not everything you see is real

And not everything you wish

Can come true

Yes even those things

That make us feel better
in the here and now. 

We can talk all day

And we can speculate until the end

But always think

About the motives of men.    

Many men love power

And many are full of themselves

But even they are followed by shadows

Foolish and unaware.
