Spider Web

 Spider web                                                         2/9/2016

The moment you see

Everything will change

Each and every nuance

Fresh, new, and clear. 

The fire comes down

And kindles the flame

But once it starts to burn

We are never the same. 

The truth stands

Changeless and absolute

Revealing every manipulation

That explains everything.

The day we find out

That it was a lie

Is the day we start to question

Everything we knew.

Liars will lie

Not only now

But about anything

And anytime. 

Going backwards

You can trace the line

Across the decades

And centuries

Of savagery and deceit.

The second verse

Is the same as the first

Trapped into a loop

Of tangled purposes

And greed.

Back then it was easy

And back then

We did not know

Deluded by the powers

We did not even know. 

The scales start to fall

As we peer into the past

Sorting out what we wished

And what is real. 

I had to let go

In order to grasp

And I had to scour my soul

To learn

And grow. 

You can punch at the water

And do what you feel

But if you never learn

That is all, you will do. 

Here we are

Just like yesterday

Waiting for something

We cannot define

Or understand. 

We cling to the safety

Of all that we believed

Picking at sand in the carpet

While the world cuts us down

One by one. 

Another is dead today

But you will not know their name

Forgotten but to God

And those with the courage

To seek and stand. 

All the lies

Will fall away

But it’s better to know it now

Than after the end. 

It’s okay to be wrong

And there is no need to explain

Because we only saw a little

Shrouded in the shadows. 

When it is obvious

It will be too late

Leaving many to wail

Dead on their knees.
