Children and Liars
a distorted memory
of a child
a creation of lies
built up
like a skyscraper
so high you can't see
tribulations of one man's
journey as a child
with compulsive lies
people use to joke about
not even a smirk comes to
but a serious look of truth
as trials continue
hatred goes away
love comes closer
a childhood of memories
disappear in the mist
one chosen for discomfort
as lies begin with no end
lunacy arises in the mind
that is distorted with lies
with enemies
that believe the hype
only one can overcome
profound memories of lies
