The Lie

The Lie

A Poem by Mario Vitale
"

A Deep look inside

"
Relax sit back & unwhind

we got too much times on our hands

when will we ever understand

People believe you are what you do

have we bitten off far more then we could chew

these are desolate times

but we settle for ill but fade rhymes

love has taken a back seat for lust

we got the cart ahead of the horse

of course you got to stay in school for all things cool

but we need to take a chill pill

not some cheap thrill in the back of the car

Satan makes everything appear good when its tainted bad

sad eyes pulsating in the Sunday news you'll sing the blues

those who are in their ivory tower our headed for a fall

the know it all who doesn't hear no matter what you say

there claim to fame is to look the other way

spaces, traces & faces

fat laces with the cigar in hand

when will we ever live to understand

you can't keep sticking it to the man with the plan

Jesus said Satan comes to kill, steal & destroy

that's his demonic ploy to get your eyes off the cross

the chief end in a tragic loss

 

the lie that says I'm the master of my fate

someday every knee will have to bow to the one we have to do

many have eyes but they can't see & ears but they cannot hear

the full message of his saving grace instead they live in Peyton Place

it's not a mistake someday you will see him in the sky

so why you being dumb & settling for the lie
