From The Lab

Secrets & Lies

Secrets and lies and truths untold,
Hidden whispers and words of gold,
Spun from voices built to conceal,
Distorted facts of weapons, real,
And pure, built to maim and destroy,
Threatened by an enemies ploy;
Soldier be warned, your time was now,
So fit the yolk and pull the plow,
To pave the way as they see fit,
Fight the good fight, refuse to quit!
Don't question why, (that's too absurd),
Just risk a life and prove their words,
Distant battles to reach an end,
For the delights of petty men,
Whose spineless backs receive the rub
Meant for brave souls, payed harsh with blood;
Deception lies within these scenes,
Where everything is as it seems.

From The Lab

Masked By A Hologram

The light plays off
of the facets,
carved long ago
by the wisest of wise.
Yet a select few
that build up walls
of false smiles and
a kindness not there
wrongly reflect
their true desperation's,
loves, hopes, desires,
hatreds, and hidden fears,
with purposeful motions
thrown to conceal
like sleight of hand
of the mind and soul,
in a world devised
from blueprints that
were drafted for
a person no longer there,
for here there are only
shades and masks.
