Virtuous and Vicious

He weaves coincidences and makes up stories, He creates stories and makes up myths, He spins tall tales— Is he a poet or politician? He loves with a passion like a man on a mission… He lies truthfully, The truths he ever tell are nothing but lies, He fabricates true lies— Is he a priest or a philanderer? He’s suave, he’s savvy, As the Satan would snatch sinful souls, He steals your thoughts stealthily and flirts with your alter ego corrupting your subconscious — Is he a saint or a savant? ~03/19/23 ~Contest: A Simple Poetry ~Sponsor: John lawless
