Lessons of Life

They hide behind cruel disguises

misery through fake smiles

faces that show a million nights

and poisoned vials.

The bitter fruit of illusions

beauty turned to ashes

in the eyes of dark hate

and lies beneath a kiss.

She is crafy as a witch with potion

steer clear of tricks

she infects others to unhappiness

not wanting a happy mix.

Do not follow spinning mazes

shades of confusion there

sure to ruin the sky lark

as she is within.
