Throne of Lies

You sit so high on your throne of lies.

The falsities show through your eyes.

Broken promises and misinterpreted words,

Raise your voice to ensure you’ve been heard.

I stand watching from a distance,

Listening to your lies this very instance.

I can’t stand to see your face,

You rule with hands filthy from disgrace.

Disgusting in ways words can’t describe,

I’m breaking away from this drug you prescribe,

And with me I’m taking, your throne of lies.
