When making folly in the name of art

Do you reveal your hidden heart?

Like every child has a toy

That brings to them a world of joy

There is one place where troubles start

Jealousy plays a major part

Without which wisdom we can impart

It all seems like a hidden ploy

When making folly in the name of art

The story needs a brand new start

Take heed and remember, play your part

It’s a life that most enjoy

No one wants to maim, destroy

But when making folly in the name of art

Repetition reveals the darker heart

Occupying Space

What would we do

If we obtained our hearts desire?

Would we stop striving

Live in complacency?

For without our dreams

We are simply carbon atoms

Occupying space

Till we return to sand

Perhaps the worst thing

Is to obtain perfection

For in gaining what we seek

We destroy all that we are

Broken Glass

Shattered reflections

In broken glass

Just can’t bear to see

What is real, what is false?

Face lined with pain

Sorrow and heartache

Borrowing trouble

Or the smiling visage

Presenting to the world

Carefree and Nar-do-well

The truth is in the middle somewhere

But could true medium exist

When joy and sorrow war?

Perhaps Viviane meant the sword

To destroy this world of seeming

Feint copies, automatons

Merely wound up, marching along

Slander

No one is made to be perfect

Everyone is made to be strong

When we tear each other down

We only destroy ourselves

Our foundations are built of trust

Lies serve only to obliterate

Viciousness and slander are the tools of the weak

Helping them only to fall further

We must stop trying to top and topple each other

Together we can reach the stars
