House of Cards

When you put on a performance

All you get is applause

Behind the facade and laughter

No one sees the mourn

Torn

From the moment your born

Into this harsh worlds reality

Sworn by the Lord

Through his guidance you shall conquer and defeat

We lose focus forgetting to see

Things for what they were

What they are is mentally made up

In illusions forever stuck

In a world uncaring

Your performance becomes more daring

Your inner self is scared in

Enslaved since you lost sight

Shuffling the hand you were dealt

Enslaved to others

Perpetrating wealth

Enslaved to a man

To his child you give birth

Enslaved to a lifestyle

Which surpasses the means of a poor mans world

Enslaved to a women

Who inside’s still a little girl  

Are the performances of the world

In life’s full deck

I cannot name them all

I don't know which card is
