Parlor Tricks
Optical illusions
Are just silly parlor tricks
Cast from darkness desperate
To shine what love depicts
I’m troubled how some fail to see
False beauty in disguise
And sickened what these fraudulent
And shallow minds advise
Praying on the hopeful hearts
To turn a buck or two
But generalizing circumstance
Is not that hard to do
Denigrators of the gift
Who think they can control
A power they can't comprehend
Defile a weakened soul.
