Forgery is a tempting pleasure -------------------------------------------
Beauty is deceiving
Yet deception is what kept us alive
Tyranny is terrifying
Yet tyrant is whom we love so much
We always hate traitors
Yet we still can't escape our treacherous nature
As if we are vultures
Devours fellow kind carcasses
We never stop suing pirates and piracy
Yet we're still blinded by imposters
We hate the world of liars
But we never stop telling lies
We always adore the truth of creativity
Yet we still tempted by illusion of forgery
Human demands honesty
Yet fate always drives us into hypocricy
Love this. It's harsh and blunt. We're all hypocrites, I know I am one. We'll all criticize people in the news about drug addictions, and drinking, or even something as stupid as speeding. Yet more than half of the US's teenagers will have tried a drug before graduating high school. I [censored] and complain about people cutting me off or people speeding past me, yet I'll do the same exact thing to someone else only seconds later.
I especially loved this line:
"We hate the world of liars
But we never stop telling lies"
I don't understand why this has so little feedback, this was an incredible poem, I'm gonna fav this.
