Absolute Truth and Lies

Is there absolute truth found in complete fabrication,
or is sincere honesty just a form of misrepresentation?

Veracities and falsities can be seen by the naked eye,
when the human soul sees the depth of the truth or a lie.
Nothing can change what is or what is meant to be, 
but we can change whether or not we live in honesty. 
It is a fact that the sky turns blue during a sunny day, 
and in the center of a tempest those blue skies turn to grey. 

But is it true that when we live in complete prevarication
we forget about the One who gave us our creation?

Deception is as legitimate as is conviction and certitude, 
and indeed, amity is as tangible as isolated solitude. 
God has given us free will to choose if we do good,
or if we believe that evil is something misunderstood. 
For there is no axiomaticity in a lie told with ease,
and truth be told if we falsify our active soul will cease.

When we intentionally fib are we a person of inspiration,
or are we really someone who lives with a sinner’s temptation?

When we mislead and misinform those who believe in hope, 
we are actually withholding their ability to learn to cope. 
Righteous is our God who lives in absolute truth and integrity,
for I believe He is the only reason for decency and morality.
When proper candor is bestowed out of love and compassion, 
we confer our honor and virtue with ingenuous passion. 

Can we ever be trustworthy with so much sinful animations?
I pray we learn absolute truth is our active soul’s authentication.
