House Of Cards
Voices and the voiceless
Fall on double edged swords
Defining echoes of silence
Etched poisonous words
Entangled by cord
Scurried through a maze
All outcomes entrapped
Promises of freedom in a distance haze
You poor gullible rat
Stop on red
Pay the toll
Never question
What authority said
Sacrificing life
The price on your soul
Alas,
Beauty can sleep
But only when she dies
House of cards
Built on lies
