Crying no more…

sometimes it is a choice
especially when tears are simply
free falling water streams
pushed out by
deceptive thoughts
artistic emotions
devious intentions
conspiring minds

when the tongue tells a lie
and the tale is received
by an audience of haters
whose appetite feeds on
another man’s downfall
or presumed weakness
cruel critics of life
the I told you saw “crew”

playing with water
playing the mental game
holding hostage with only
emotions and water streams
digging a hole for a fellow
calling it business as usual
and hoping the audience will believe
the one and only one told side of a story!!
