LIFE AMONG GHOSTS

LIFE AMONG GHOSTS

© ghostlyactivities.com

When I was kid I couldn’t go to sleep,

Scared that the ghosts were lingering beneath.

Now as an adult, well I still struggle.

I live among ghosts, vying for trouble.

We have always read it, haven’t we?

All those morals and ethics but did we see?

The light they were kindling inside of us

Originated in the darkness of dead corpus.

Reality is far removed from those lessons.

Selfish preach selflessness for long sessions.

Tables are turned before you could sit down.

Twisted stories decide who wears the crown.

As the lies pile on with backstories well equipped.

Those who know the truth stand by tight-lipped.

Escape routes are lost as the castles crumble.

This is life among ghosts, vying for trouble.

All the secrets to your friend, with trust you’d spoken,

Their wide public slander leaves you broken.

Strangers behind the computer screen suddenly

Start becoming confidantes closer than family.

The one who complains first is assumed to be right.

Your best counterarguments can’t put up a fight.

When the truth upholders and the powerful collide,

Successful are those who are quick at switching sides.

They cook a recipe, with a cupful of befool,

A dash of defame, sprinkling of divide and rule.

Their words might be but their actions aren’t liberal.

This is life among ghosts, vying for trouble.

All the planning and plotting and noose tightening schemes,

Strangling you to death making you join their team.

Join them, oppose them but you can’t ruffle.

This is life among ghosts, come vie for trouble.
