Tragic Truth

Before...
I am still a child who needs my mothers care
I laugh when others laugh
I cry when others cry
I jump and sing and dance
To see life in the lives
Love all and live for all is my will
Remaining untouched by hypocrisy
And being a baby for life is my bliss

Now…
Never Never Never again believe in man
Truth has taken its toll
What meant to me a life
Seemed to be a joke on their part
What I had understood through life
Has gone wrong to the roots

I was told ‘never give up, never give up’
But when I turned up to that
I have been given up
With a bash on my face

Upheld promises have gone by
No trace of tacit understandings
The lost love has changed its face
History has shown its back again
And man has ceased to be human
As deceit has stabbed truth unto its death

A new life is born and a
Brutal battle has begun
In which barbarity is at its best
Ruthless reign will last forever
As mercy matters me no more
When the mind has taken the reins

Live for thyself, live for thyself-a new lesson learnt
Live and let die has become my will
When my tears made my vision clear
Right or wrong neither occur to me
For the symbol of humanity
Has been drowned to his depth
A lesson which lasts for life
Never Never Never believe in man again
