Misconceptions
In love and in life you are shown thy shield, Birthed forth from thy coveted perceptions,
Some with'r, others hold, the shield is still wield, For thy shield protects from life's deceptions.
In battle field trenches dug deep and broad, Thy faith is thy own and one is alone.
Thy stepparent, thy shield is ever flawed, For alone is forever, small worth own.
Fie Fie the false perceptions that fetter, Shielding, bombarding truth not infliction,
Destroying commonality’s center.
Seek truth anew, quit thy misconceptions.
Beweep little thy shattered shield shown thee. Anon thy wasted life shone true to yee.
