i know who i am
i know how i am
i am a simple man
i lead a simple life
-
my virtue
i have been told
is my obstacle
yet i don't understand
how others disregard or discard things like virtue
and trade them in for a cloak of deception
or live cavalierly in sin
-
i have found others using virtue in such dishonorable ways
weaving pretty webs with their virtue for unsuspecting victums to get caught in
having been enticed by such finely spun work to try to get a closer know of it's creator
they are feasted on
and discarded without remorse
-
i don't understand whut friendship is for others
because i find those who claim they are my friends prefer money and decadence over me
that if i am not directly involved with th process of making money or participating in some act of sin when these choices are available
they take those options without hesitation and leave me with my humble self
-
i struggle a vain attempt at glory
vain because my friends are unreliable
and i alone cannot make this attempt
it is like when thee enemy haz caught you
and your friends are needed for your eskape
as i said though
i expect my closest friends will let me down
i must find a way to break the chains, slink through the corridor and by the gaurds alone
-
if only i had a friend who i knew would not leave me and i knew valued me for who i was and not how they could utilize me
i would sneak into a camp of murderers and lechers to unchain him
