Dead Lips Still Capable of Smiles

January 18, 2010
By Anonymous

These lips have been dead, since two years past
The emotion seen will always seem to last
Sunrise and sunset, these lips will hold,
All our secrets left untold
The world these lips have tasted,
Was much too wasted
These lips upon a soul
Still smiling, though never whole
These lips, venomously hiding,
Tinny voices, chiding,
Voicing truths and always prying,
into the hearts and minds left crying,
and on the inside....
dying.

Teenage angst. Anger at the government and at the stupid politicians making the word even more messed up than need be. The end of civilization....as it has already happened.
