Shallow

The folly of my eyes,
Just a bunch of lies.
A good cause deserves a donation?
Don't you see, it gives tax exemption.

The lies, on the mind they are so easy,
All sexed up and cheesy.
Oh how they love the oil.
Tyrant displacement, just a foil.

Shameless carnage of human rights,
Just breaking news and sound bytes.
The LoN, the UN, what do we need them for?
The road to peace now starts at war.

All our lives, we bark up the wrong tree.
When all we need is to break free.
Not pots of gold or an axe to grind.
Just someone to cry with and a beautiful mind.
