This is a far cry from a fair trade

The red dawn coated from the black night's deceits

Stained with the cover-up of yesterdays defeats

This is a far cry from an honest truth

Words thrown with intention for misdirection

But this curve ball of the tongue evades closer inspection

This is a far cry from a good sleep

Locking what was always open before

But still one eye to the bed and one to the door

This is not a far cry from a swift end

When excessive measures are taken and results still not seen

When the actions motivation is nothing more than green

This is a far cry from a fair trade

"This is a far cry from an honest truth
Words thrown with intention for misdirection
But this curve ball of the tongue evades closer inspection"

very nice

Thank you.
