Poetry: Dishonesty

Don't worry, it'll get done tomorrow

or by someone other than me.

I waste my days doing nothing.

Not blind-just refusing to see.

My fate and others are not a concern

though I may have great ability.

My laziness has formed a shadow

on my own responsibility.

I've been rewarded too long

for my lack of action.

Watching others do the work

has brought me great satisfaction.

I see no point to change.

No, I don't really care

that everyone gets paid the same

and that it's not really fair.

So just let me sit here

in this pointless existence.

For it's my choice that I follow

the path of least resistance.

See, I've even wrote these words,

and now I'm really tired.

If I decide not to finish,

I still will not be fired.

    You pushed me into a cloud of deceit,
    and held the truth high above my reach.
    Then cast them down into the sea of lies.

    Dishonesty: Blind Freedom



    Take our minds,
    push our buttons,
    manipulate hearts

    DISHONEST SOUL

    Behind a lie, you cannot hide;

    In the end, the truth you will confide.
