Painted Diva

Selfish beings consume the world

it is sad but it is true

cannot tell exactly

could be standing next to you.

Devilish thoughts

taking over the mind

killing the conscience

it unravels and unwinds.

Who is really helping

helping those that are ill

a doctor, friend, or loved one

or a magic little pill.

Can you survive

get stronger and fight

no one promised easy

no one promised right.

Live as you can

or as you must

sooner or later

we all turn to dust.
