Some things

They are a mystery

The inner workings

Of the mind

Body and spirit. 

And how can we measure

The turbulent emotions

Ebbing and flowing

Through the human heart.

The war in our minds

Wages back and forth

Torn between different ideas

And limitless ideations. 

Never sure

What to think

I tried it both ways

Neither one satisfactory

In a world

Gone insane. 

Watching others

Full of soulless ambition

Anything for approval

And anything for prestige.    

Fakes and frauds

They pretend

It’s all so important

True believers in nothing

Except for pleasing men. 

Vying against the gatekeepers

They try and try again

Wasting all their efforts

For exactly

Nothing at all. 

Forcing their smiles

And nodding their heads

Even when its wrong

And even

When its evil.  

They go along

Pulled by the tides

Unaware

And unbelieving.

Trusting in themselves

And the lies

Of mediocre men

They are lost

Before they ever knew. 

Swept away

By the paths

Of least resistance

Traded away

For nothing at all. 

And still they pretend

And still they suffer

Unable to admit

Or break free.    

Evil men

Hatch evil plans

Ugly on the inside

And ugly on the outside.

Evil in their heart

Imprinted

On their DNA

Evil thoughts and purposes

Twisted with greed.

Usurpers from the start

They seek to posses

And steal 

No matter who they hurt

Or who they kill.

Anything to win

And anything for status

Jealous of man

And envious of God. 

They mock

And they laugh

The faithful

And the good. 

Piling on the insults

To the already wounded

And the already replaced

Oozing with a hatred

Twisted and insane.  

The snake is a liar

Just as he always was

But still fools bite

Just as they always did. 

No different now

As it was then

When they murdered

The prophets

Over and over again. 

Pride and murder

Insanity and fear

Much is lost

Through soulless

Ambition.   

Feverishly devoted

And dependent on lies

The persistence of evil

From the very beginning

Of time. 

In time

Their foot will slip

And they will fall

And there will be

No one to help. 

No lie

And no manipulation

Their swindling

We be of no avail. 

Their fall

Will be sudden

Spectacular

Final

And complete.
