The richest love from deep within entrapped

The richest love

from deep within

trapped in the catacombs

and left to die

Lives longer,

Shines brighter,

Than these tedious old lies

Meant for nothing more 

than to keep you satisfied

Without you, this portrait would be ugly

only to you, of course

Only cherished by mankind's decesased

with catacombs of their own

Hatred keeps you happy

Fear keeps you satisfied

Never the one to be true

to thyself

The filter keeps them happy

and love keeps my filter alive

just for you

To thine own self be true-Shakespeare

To thine own self be you.

Filter thyself for you.

And I will love you.

Grant-Grey Porter Hawk Guda
