College Anthem

Oh Truth,
you foulfaced farce. Lie as dead, lie in soft slumber, lie
whisper naught in my ear, prick not my fear, from me fly!
let confession remain unheard, let lives live young
held ransom by the rose on your lips and the poison in your tongue
We’re both wrapping ourselves in the cloak of who we are not
While our hearts haplessly whisper who we forgot.
