Lie to the world

Lie to the world

That’s eager for only your best,

Unwilling to be cozy in a shade-

But bask in your sunshine,

Not by your side on your death.

Lie to the world

That rides your ambitions,

Smirks at the stumbles-

Vilifies your troughs,

Sings paeans to your crests.

Lie to the world

That trades love for success,

Charts convenient definitions-

Left ear loaded with preaches,

And right, loathing those ideals.

Lie to the world

That wants you to only win,

Discourages imaginations

Of a more harmless world,

Saying, ‘It’s another lie!’
