Immunity

Listen to the racket of resounding lies that reverberate within your polluted mind, where another truth is battered and dies. I have dragged out the casualties of ethical beliefs, and with disgust for their loss, expressed my grief while your actions and words of which lies are replete became the truth’s death, tossed around like trash on the street. When I speak, the words spoken are poison for you to hear, and they ignite your temper and strip your comfort— the burden of truth’s casualties is always onerous to bare. So, you retaliate with fury and come after me as if I am doing wrong by admitting the truth in what I see. And the fact is that I can see the malice in your eyes— how your actions and words are perniciously personified. I can see behind your mask nobody else can see, your veiled intentions and secrets— the epitome of shameless duplicity. When you smile, there is no warmth or glow, it is the mask of deceit that you always show. So, while others remain fooled and praise your name, I’ll NEVER be swayed by your fabricated fame!
