Devious

It's time to amplify the obvious
The roots that flower to my envious
Nature, what some consider devious.
Alone and unselected propositions
As the wall intrigues you,
As the sky calls you,
And the cell phone drawn like a weapon,
As you shut out the envious
Without recognizing the obvious
Hence creating a devious
    Without noticing (rit………..)
        Without noticing (…..ard……..)
            Without noticing (……an…..)
                Without noticing (……………do)
