A Certain Version on Life


Beings with reverse tongues
 
One with purity
 
And another without love,
 
Whose hands hold strings
 
And with their own decree
 
Pull them manipulating,
 
Selfish bastards using others
 
To create a false love 
 
A false comfort of a lover
 
Spouting lies that create puppets
 
Hiding chains and torture
 
Making victims love it
 
For this is the social decree
 
Dog eat dog world
 
This is our society
 
Trustworthiness is a flaw
 
Since people are the most dangerous
 
After all
 
It's funny to not emphasize
 
How "believe" and "deceive"
 
Both rhyme
 
In a story and argument there is two sides
 
Yet both are wrong inside
 
In a cruel world how do people see
 
That it is right to believe
 
Such people tell the truth
 
Freely and carelessly
