Truth Or Lies

I fail to understand how lies are built I fail to comprehend how tongues twist words Preparing lies is holding the hilt And stab many selfless saints from their herds Staying under the quilt leads to pure guilt I fail to understand how life has no truth I fail to comprehend how there’s no fair play Keeping a mouth shut is breaking a healthy tooth. Might as well give birth to a bloke with speech delay Reality is not the blessed kissing booth Truth is taking a vaccine to be immune From the virus of mischief, silence and pain Truth is singing notes constantly in tune While lying is singing off key with high gain Therefore, all these lies must end real soon Quintain (Sicilian) Poetry Contest Sponsor: Emilie Pinet Date: 3/12/2020
