A Lie Is a Try

A lie is a try
     at superiority

   An attempt to hide
     insecurity

   What it seeks to conceal
     it reveals

You can't remember lies. Our Presidents can't remember the truth... Oh, well...

A lie is always a lie. I liked your rhyme, Gershon. That's the truth.

Ha, ha. Glad you came around to the truth, Shirley! Cheers, Gershon

Truth in all…lol! Often, too, a gruff response! All sorts of ways to attempt to control.

Yeah. It is a control thing, isn't it?! Thanks for the insight, Kim. :)
