TEN IN LIES

Fri, 09/25/2015 - 11:13 -- emmys

Ten in lies ...
A sign beyond completion,
Leaders in Den,
Ruling people so fierce;
Making pains intense.

Group pictures,
all in odds 87 from 97,
Another way to take us to ten
A way of completing agony.

Names carved with pen,
Ambition; completion.
Voting our right?
Sold out due to our greed
Our future revolves,
Twined like a reed.

Our promise is eden,
Locked up In a den
Our doors; Burglary
Yet we dance to their songs.

There legs are jets,
Fleets of cars,
Myriads of escorts
Yet we never stop,
Their song is our ten,
Ten of deceit.

Two things taking us,
A devil and a devil.
I wonder which is better
Non I will say,
Maybe both are;
The lies in ten
