Words echo back in time
reminding me of fabulists
and fairy tales.
Lies and pretty stories;
I've heard it all before.
We are victims of each others' past.
And if I take your bait,
believe it all again
and start to dream,
will I be twice-fooled?
History repeats itself.
There are always ghosts in the room.
It's best keep a distance
Treat today as just a game,
no more real than Aesop.
Stay safe in unbelief,
in that place where lies can't sting.
