Xeno Hemlock

One may proclaim but one does not mean it
Allegiance to life, one can just fake it
Ignore the words and look at their actions
You’ll see the signs of procrastination

Those who overcame can recognize
By looking at each other’s eyes
Until one dispels it, that feared harbinger
The one who proclaims is just a pretender
