THE DEED

Alive....
you are alive if you breathe
you are alive if you need
you are alive if you feed
you come alive when you truly seek
seek your inner voice
which guides you to where you go
heeds you of your unrelenting choice
tells you your heart is your foe

Silence is when you hear your heartbeat
dazed are you at your own deed
You were born to lead
you chose to deceive
your own self, your own people

If you could just walk away, if it were that simple
True to the word, you are the 'being'
untrue to your soul, you are mean
You slaughter your soul
you divulge your mind
you play foul
and now, remorse you will find

Your instinct is to love, to pray, to care
but you've laid your heart bare

You are now not insane
but neither are you humane
You have become a new breed
It is but a treacherous deed.
