Lies are the words that I use
when you look up hopefully.
Why is it seriously funny
that the truth will set you free?
All of the things that we feel
are a trick, a fantasy.
In the deafening silence,
we could just learn to be.
Lies are the light and the hope
in your eyes as they shine on me.
Within this blinding darkness,
it’s the truth I foresee.
Tie up my hands with your chains,
they are bound to set me free.
It’s all so clearly misunderstood
that the truth will set you free.
Written (after the fact) for the GloPoWriMo Day 11 prompt:
write a poem that incorporates song lyrics – ideally, incorporating them as opposing phrases or refrains.
Song lyrics are italicised, taken from All Lies by Nomeansno

You did an incredible write for the prompt my friend. As I read the poem and the reference of set me free…weirdly reminded me of this song from the 90s.

hahahaha!!! My apologies. That’s the only song I knew that popped into my head. Then again, I should have used this one band, but I was against that song. Either way, thought I share. 🙂
