Ask

Minds, they try to whisper thoughts of silence
..On the pavements people carry thoughts of grievance
..Exchanging looks which flirt of pleasance
..Roses carry stories which last longer than fragrance
T'was when I ask, "Life full of gamblers so should we place the bet?"

Carry on the tangled path of life cuz sins will always be comin'
..Fear not for the laundry is near to wash yourself of cheatin'
..Tears fall from the dark blue sky for you must stop burnin'
..Happiness would cease to exist without the absence of sadness flyin'
T'was when I ask, "Should we relinquish ourselves n stop to regret?"

People are plannin' to put one another down
..Violence and hatred portray only pure meltdown
..Judgin' others just saddens all from both uptown n downtown
..For one who is busy tryin' to be another is just an ordinary clown
T'was when I ask, "Why not remove the mask of deceit before the advent of sunset?
