The World Stage

Tower of cards, your honesty

In what you present

Resentment forged, a fallacy

How quick we forget

Garden of snakes lay coiled

At the base of your feet

Out of your mouth emerging

Is a web of deceit

All the world is all a stage

A setting dressed for you

The windowpane as clear as day

The lie in perfect view

A constant shift to stay away

Controlling what you do

A straining fate, to cement in place

Dying to come through

To fabricate reality

With selfish intent

Manipulatе the scenery

Into what you invеnt

Crocodile tears stream slowly

As you conjure the myth

Accepting lies whole hearted

As a case of respite

A veil of gray, shattering

Behind the fraud

A constant front, burdening

All their applause

Daft in depth and veracity

Hiding in sight

Panning liability

This same old plight

All the world is all a stage

A setting dressed for you

The windowpane as clear as day

The lie in perfect view

A constant shift to stay away

Controlling what you do

A straining fate, to cement in place

Dying to come through
