Body Work

Less than the truth
By definition is
A lie

Thought out
Or not
Accidental or intent
 
The result is 
the same
It still leaves a dent

Our words
And our actions
Can soothe or impale

Fostering trust
Or erode
It as well


Cut to the
heart is
No superficial wound

It could prove
To be mortal
We may understand soon

Are we ever
Prepared
For the total
Of our sum

Our body of
Works
The things that
We've done
