Iacet Velum (Veil of Lies)

Lend me your eyes as witness..
see those in the pool of distress..
deceived, circling in the hands of those in white
how pathetic, ignorance has strummed their minds.

Let your feet walk as your mind talk..
these hymn, riddled and chanting as it seem
has been a dream for a thirst of fame and greed.

fortune veils their minds and eyes..
they walk silently.. carrying fortune, yet they do not brag..
for their pockets filled with coins rooted from avarice..
has dragged them by the winds to the withered solstice..

They held a Book, torned yet sacred as it is..
adorned by many, framed to make others hungry
poured by spits of hypocrisy, crowded by shelters of blasphemy
Oh what have they done!.. what have they done!..

Kneel on your knees! it is an order!
do not shed a tear, just dwell in the well of slumber..
never you attempt to speak, nor lay in adversary
for their eyes, curtained by oppression..
does not tolerate for a rightful conclusion..

pray for them... pray for them..
It is how you become a prey for them..
let them sing in praise, let them praise their vices..
for malice they embraced, soon they will cry without a face..

It is how they pacify, yet also gratify
the Inverted ascent they always try..
what is willed by them, was willed by the heavens..
but not to fret.. they do have false feathers..

gain and always gain they do prefer..
riches, power, fame... they race for it with care..
for their souls, guided by the gusts of unsure seclusion..
has been an answer on this wordless illumination.

You.. obliged to tell what your eyes can see..
must face what your mind has told you since..
for you cannot speak in judgement and pure hesitation..
this lamented truths.. cries for a sudden redemption.
