Sway

Scott Andrew Bailey

All
That I
Survey is
Under my sway
That is what they say
The evidence is slim
So I start to understand
How perfidious is the world
And the darkness begins to seep in
The entropy of hope, and dream slayer
So I must strive to remember the truth
My eyes are my window to the world
What dwells behind them in my world
My kingdom and my domain
So here I shall remain
That is what I say
Under my sway
In my eye
That is
All

    What a fabulous tribute to discerning the truth! Something we all need to do in this day and age of fake news, and BS! LOL!! Well done, Scott.
