Flattery
they say to look for happiness
but i shall look for peace
they say to look for power
but powers a disease
they say the worlds and ugly place
and beauty's from within
but beauty comes from cost of love
and loves a deadly sin
they say that asking questions
is harmul (but you'll find)
that questions raise a sticky truth
so give truth and never mind
they say that you shall never find
the meaning of this beast
but i shall laugh gallantly
and gallantly i shall feast
