Listening to conversation of one became the intertwining of three
Listening to conversation of one became the intertwining of three
Hearsay
hearsay says the traveling vine hearsay hearsay is worthless in law of court
said the wise scribe
I said it
true said originator that you are not what you think but a fool to plot and
play against
Stirring up
the masses he lied she lied they lied until the truth was lost never found in
cover darkness wide far
Around the
word the orchestrator conducted the vines of the grape day by day with
exceeding virulent intentional vents of jealous rage to hurt hurt hurt harm
harm harm disguise disguise disguise the true crimes committed
Lying became
portraying of the truth for future morality liberty trandescence evening of
sins reveal them all but matter not
Staying
abreast of the clamor became the game to watch the discard of all civil manners
of not clash clash clash against all social norms accepted whether known or not
still the original tale of fabrication became the champion of the truth until
the challenger came super charged with God and said I am his sword no lie shall
ever persist to fly against any that know who I portray as my faith bread soul
Waiting watching
steadily they continue on with cell of one brain to try to defeat the inevitable
failure failure failure loser loser loser is the only crown they will wear and
win
