The devils dared paradoxy

Original Submission by D.K.

The devils dared paradoxy

An overwhelmed world.

Filled with diamonds and gold.

Feeding its pigs

Nourished their greed’s.

Of the sin’s roots seeds,

With their trash treasures sold.

As a simple illusion,

That’s been spun into stone.

That everyone believes

As their god’s word told.

Marked as garbage fools,

By the lies foretold.

The treasures doomed trash,

And the trash’s deemed treasures,

It’s truths, if found, piercing their hearts.

Yet, sparing the canopy blind’s.

As the truth, unfolds in lies.
