We could have been so much more

But our weakness was in listening to others,

We should have stood strong in trust and unity

In the neighbourhood of lies and gossip,

We missed the truth that others have agendas

They use these to shore up their own shallow empty lives,

Seeking to create drama’s in which the have meaning

In which the can create as if they are dreaming,

In the neighbourhood of lies and gossip

We fell for the tricks that these people play,

To see us at each other and to see us separate

Before moving in, hoping to gain something,

Out of the wreckage of our now broken lives.
