Conversation With Your Other Face

2

I look around at all these clowns

with their smiles painted on their faces

no real emotion

they’re all just traces

of what we think we should feel

but have been replaced with

make up

but you think

you look good

even though you don't

you'll never know

you’re just a model of broken stone

with pieces missing

you'll always feel alone

because no one’s home

to console your ego

3

and you’re free to go

but you just can't leave

because behind closed doors

you’re as ugly as can be

and you don't need

a mirror to see inside

and from yourself

it does no good to hide

because you'll always find

what was left behind

even if it's nothing

but let's forget what I just said

because you’re as beautiful

as water is wet in the sea

but it just reflects what it sees

no different than you and me

4

and I hate to be such an optimist

but love is pain

and down the drain

goes the hearts of the vain

with the rest of the waste

and how's that conversation with your other face

I hope you have a lot to say

James 4:1-6

From whence come wars and fightings among you? come

they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your

members?

6

Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and

cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because

ye ask not.

Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye

may consume it upon your lusts.

Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the

friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever

therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of

God.

Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that

dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?

But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God

resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
