People

Be careful my dear child

Not all is as it seems

Here on earth are evil people

Who’ll try to crush your dreams

They’ll promise to protect you

Anytime you start to mope

But promises are worse than lies

For they also make you hope

They’ll promise to defend you

Remain loyal and true

But once you see they’re wearing masks

You’ll wonder who is who

They’ll shower you with compliments

And leave you misty-eyed

But sometimes, child, sometimes

Sometimes, people lie
