“The essence of lying is in deception, not in words” John Ruskin
The Darkness You Bring In the darkness of my moments, those particular moments of keen observation that I extract from my wounded veneer comes a cacophony of retorts to show my indignation that you are less than you said you were in your arrogant summation of self that placed you above while yet you were below, at least when I took privilege to judge you it certainly seemed so, and you were so utterly disappointing and yet it is not I you offend, but the very world of innocence and, though I would do nothing in response you are no less lighter in the weight of the darkness you bring which leaves us all desperately looking for light we cannot find in ourselves, but you came to this in your own way, no one set the axe to your foundation, you cut yourself down ©Paul Vincent Cannon
