Wraiths of Hate

Sitting down by the lake

I saw some people with smiles fake

Dressed as gentlemen came wraiths of hate

No love at all, with wealth they bait

Some thorned roses and hearts full of hate

And those smiles hid the scars of fate

The Benches are full, there is fear in the shade

In hands there are sharp pieces of jade

Smiles that hide the dead man inside

And Smiles that cover the shattered pride

Darkness has crept while the sun is out

Clouds of greed will stay, there is no doubt

Some thorned Roses and hearts dead

I know now why the water was red
