Day 7 National Poetry Month: Tomorrow’s Lies

Here is today’s free verse poem, from the prompt, Tomorrow’s Lies. Enjoy.

Tomorrow’s Lies

Awakening that bright future
with tomorrow’s lies
A multitude of insincere smiles
beget worthless promises

Desperate hope
in their ambition
While the world burns

Smothering that bright future
with tomorrow’s lies
A multitude of insincere smiles
beget worthless promises
