We are taught

To lie

Nobody knows this, but we were taught,

To lie,

It is the opposite of what everyone believes,

Society is just fucked up in that aspect of the truth,

We can't always pick and choose what is in front of us,

We can all leave a trail of dust and soot to mark the next generation,

By its wayside boundaries,

Isn't that puppy so adorable,

I wonder what he has to say on the subject,

Salivating for the attention of its fellow humans,

Just for a pet,

And so, the cycle begins again,

A pastel of scents and smells for us all to enjoy.
