Oh the tangled webs we weave,
The stupid shit we do.
Words strangled upon the lips
Wet with venomous dew.
There lie mangled solemn oaths;
Sincerely they were sworn.
The bells jangled in mockery
Of the day when white was worn.
In new-fangled self-centeredness,
The conscience left to wilt,
Brightly dangled forbidden fruit
Poisons the soul with guilt.
