Do You See the Truth?


Do you see the truth?

Do you hear the lies that are sweetly told to you?

Can you weave through the suger coated tales?

Can you see past the magic spell?

He locks on to your weakness and draws power from his lies to cage you.

No money?

No love?

No encourgement given to you?

Come to me and I will change you!

I will show you all the luxuries of life you can have!

All I need is your hand ...and something that is useless to you, entrust it to me. 

Your soul.

Your identity.

Your faith.

Your hope.

I will take thses useless things for you and re-create you.

You can have all the money and jewles in the world!!

How wonderful is that?

Be green and greedy with me!

Let everyone envy you and want to be you!

But what is the cost?

What happens when you wake up?

What is the damage you've created?

What do you have left after your money runs out?

You lost yourself.

You hve no more hope.

No more dough.

No more love can be bought.

You no longer want and dream..

No motivation for yourself, only greed.

You've hurt innocent people...

You've destroyed your self worth, for what?

Money.

Money is what you gave your everything to.

Who loves you? 

Who cares to be around you?

Who wants you to be happy?

Everyone, as long as you pay them.

You will never have genuine love again.

You will be surrounded in Genuine leathers, jewls and property.

But what will stay, when you become poor again?

Who will stay next to you?

Now tell me,

Do you see the truth?
