Behind a Lie

What if behind every lie was a truth,
And within every fear was a fight,
if every sweet little bird was a soldier,
And everyday waited for night,
What if thunder storms waited for sunshine,
And all the elderly pittied there youth,
What if heroes yearned they were villains,
And behind,
Every lie,
Was a truth.

Well, that's why people tend to lie, just to cover up the truth. Good poem - JH
