Analysis of Groomed



No one is born to lie.
But taught and groomed,
To be demons.
No one is born to lie.
But taught their best,
Who and when to deceive.

No one is born to lie.
From Sunrise to Sunset.
And,
No one is born to cry....
For attention and empathy given to get.
Rehearsing until perfection,
Their best demonic routines.

People who had minds now gone.
Never knew how to use them.
People who had minds now gone,
Claim to have been victimized.
With a telling more lies to be sympathized.
As tears drip from their practiced eyes.

People who had minds now gone,
Can't be trusted.
Even in places they go to pray,
Lies are told and sold Sundays.
Portraying themselves as Saints.
But Saints they ain't!

Tricksters.
Mmmm.
Dupers.
Mmmm.
Deceiving hoodwinkers.
Mmmm.
Praying in pews with their fingers crossed!

People who had minds now gone,
Can't be trusted.
No.
They've been taught to be tricksters.
Mmmm.
And lieing lip twisters.
Mmmm.
Skilled hoodwinkers.
Mmmm.
Praying in pews with their fingers crossed!
