oh, oh, oh My

be weary of those who will
consume you
be cautious of those who will
make promises
and never keep them
without knowing and without remorse
they are out to destroy and deceive
and much
and as definitive as they believe
in
themselves.
not to say to close off the inner well
that all those fishing for hope
purity
and downright  nastiness
will
yes.
you guessed it
"dispel"
they can't seem to find focus
integrity
or
that dwindling madness
that stirs you in your sleep
counting sheep
stars
or humanity
won't help your brain from racing.
let those ones in
who deserve to be inside
and lock all the others out
with the crowd
who will crucify you at the first chance.
balance is the word
balance is the key
be what those others
only wish
dream
and maybe don't even fathom
what they
cannot.
sleep fair prince to fight another day
if you're dead in the tracks
across railroad lines
than you didn't belong
here
with
those
goddamn eyes.
