The Spider and the Fly

Caughtinawebofsilk
Deceivingly intricate
Spinning around by thread
Battle of predator and prey
Suspended in mid-air
The spider and the fly

Caughtinawebofdeceit
Of scandals and controversies
Of differing ideologies
Supporting clashing morality
Life
Can be so con tra dic to ry
You
You…….
No?longer?know?what?to?believe
So
untangle yourself
Break free

from

Lies
Such a common word
With fatalistic
Consequences
Like the pen
Sharper than
a two-edged sword
which martyrs
its own writer
see the crimson blood drip
on pure white paper

Lies
Come in colour
You name it
They have it
Just place an order
Pacified by the backstabber
The recipient will suffer
Staining the whitewashed wall
And just when you thought…..
That lies were colour-free…….
