The Lie is in the beLIEf, in the middle of L*I*E is I, so what is true? who is living you? who do you believe? who do you live? what do you know for sure? just some questions along the way, on the rocky road, slippery slope, divergent paths of I Am This and/or I Am Not This...

IMHO Ana Opinions are disavowed When riddled with such obscurity And interrogative delicacy As to escape the tender embrace Of the author Of such burnt offerings. Language obtains Such subtlety of purpose So it seems When words are victimized Ripped from the throat Made meaningless By the very act Of speaking them aloud. And yet they remain As is plainly seen Battered and broken Struggling to form A consonant chord In the vacuum Meant to suck angels Through the tiny opening That remains at our core. But all it does Is empty the soul Of all that it loves And keeps it buried to the neck In the very ground we've grown to detest. Such emptiness there is here As to rob the songbird Of it's song.
