Analysis of A world of fake love!
Devon Bates 1980 (Norfolk)
I hear this word!
This four letter word!
Yet when you really mean it!
It's felt and not heard!
I may like you!
I may even love you with the love of God!
Yet, I will not lie, I do not love those, who pray for my demise!
Phony and fake!
The words that are thrown!
I will not lie like the snake!
The love I gave was shown!
The whispers and shadows!
The plots and schemes!
A world in all terror
With some begging please!
I could not be perfect!
My Lord, forgive me!
Only you , became sacred, when they tried to kill me!
What is a sinner?
Except not a man!
What is a saint?
You are all I had!
So I could not leave it, alone to just rot!
Why do they hate Isreal, when they have their own spot?
What was the purpose to die for those in need, when there the same ones who cursed you?
Sounds like love to me!
Yet, still some will not see heaven!
I shall not sit with a snake!
What is love!
If not an action indeed!
