Diamond Eyes

Diamond Eyes 9/25/2014

It is sad

But also predictable

That you can see what will happen

From a million miles away.

As old as man

And as old as sin

That we often destroy

What is good

And pure.

Are we prepared

To stare at the end?

At the dead eyes of murder

And unfathomable hatred. 

It spasms everywhere

In an orgy of blood

Lurking in doorways

And watching your every move. 

It is in the office mate

Who covets beauty and money

And it is also in the murderer

Insecure and jealous.

I saw the pictures

And I see the end

Fake,  dumb, and predictable

Insincere and shallow.  

But isn’t that the world

Rotten on the inside

Like a corpse encrusted with diamonds

Suffocating the living  

With promises and lies. 

Hidden in plain sight

The deepest motives of man

Deeper than deep

And blacker than black.

Sometimes it hurts

But that is no surprise

As we have no choice

But to keep on going

Spinning sideways around the sun.

You might hear one thing

Or you might hear another

But words are only words

When they are designed to deceive.

Desperate people

Do desperate things

And they will say anything

To get what they want

Or keep what they have.

A wise man

Never lets down his guard

Careful not to become complacent

Anytime or anywhere.

This is the phony war

And this is age of deception

A peaceful eye of the storm

Before it strikes again. 

But he who

Plants his feet upon the rock

Will not be moved

Immortal and determined. 

Set your eyes

Dead level

And remember this  truth

That he who does what is right

Will never die.  

Vindication will come

Like a tsunami

And nothing shall stand before it

Except what is true.
