Forever To Deceive

Step out from behind your ego,

see what others see

 

An imperfect vacuum caught in time,

a drum with empty beat

 

The mirror lies habitual,

to pose as your best friend

 

A single letter does conspire,

whose “I,” your will portends

 

That monetary wardrobe,

gold patches on your sleeves

 

To hide the truth you’ve left unsaid

—forever to deceive

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2017)
