Honesty's Guise


What roads must I take,
To reclaim the beauty I let sail?
What lies must I endure,
To go through this uncertain shade?

Oh darkness and light, bearer of honesty’s guise,
Survivor of time, undeterred by its fields of lies
Roses and thorns, though together they grow,
They are forced to part by the horrors of man.

A mask was designed through honesty's guise

To tear asunder the dark knight's honour;
A comforting courage to shatter the spear of fear.

Trumping corruption to beg, for a forgiveness it will never receive,

See you at the hut on the top of the hill, Where the ground actually meet the clouds, The closest we can be to the castles in the sky, Engineered by the dreams of the children of tomorrow, Before it starts to shatter by the de...

The Reality of Freelancing

A freedom everyone longs for yet clueless about People think freelancers have it all: the abundance of free time, an active social life and a steady income to go with it.
