Through the verdant lips
Words of masquerade are spoken
Life is a written jest
Emotions seek convenience
Souls are drifting towards kingdom of Satan
Compassion is now only an exotic dream
Such is picturesque daily scene
Playing a never ending movie of broken promises
Fortune teller has spilled the beans
It’s a created masterful plan of humankind
Being promiscuous is the normal way of life
With selfishness as harlequin at human’s disposal
Gigantic mountains of lies are painted
Good deeds are arduous acts
Decency is not found in the dictionary
As we pounce at every opportunity
Knocking at our doorstep
Even if it needs us
Walking all over family & friends
Life of an ophidian we swear by
As we shed away our masks
Sibilant sounds of opportunists
Are the melodies we dance to day in, day out
Globe is writing new history
With a cadaver of hatred
We’ve divided territories
New chapters speak of tribulation
As we query the very existence of humanity
Our legacy we leave for our future generation
Perfect life we live every single day
Today's society without humanity
Author notes
...So is the world we live in the one we have created as a legacy for our children.
