Lies and Betrayals

Lies and betrayals, and many a tale,
And multitudes sacrificed while their chiefs hailed.

Ribbons and marches and buildings and arches,
And letters of magnitude, and those of gratitude.

Crowds of confusion and lots of illusions
Leaves many in darkness regardless of smartness.

The enemy knows how to fool, armored with many a tool,
Knows where our triggers lie, knows that for what we’ll die.

For he has observed us, knows just what we’ll do,
Knows just how to trick us to get us unglued.

So we have to be on the lookout for him,
So we don’t fall prey to his tricks, while he grins.

So we can’t go blinded, move fast pace ahead,
Without taking time to inquire of our Head.

There’s so much that’s out there, so much to digest,
That we can’t afford to not pray, can’t do less.
