Conception of Deception

Silence is the safehouse of the most sincere lies just as teardrops sweetly sleep in our eyes. When we tell the truth with a bad intention... we become the custodian of an evil invention. A half-truth is a complete package of lies... even truthful fools often appear to be wise. A naked truth is safe, sound and sacred but a fully robed lie hides hurt and hatred. The conception of deception is not difficult... yes, false foundations will one day somersault. The intention of a liar may be honourable but the tools of his action makes them culpable. Politicians polish lies and call it civil right; magicians make darkness brighter than light. Pains may force an innocent man to lie; no pain or pressure can force the truth to die We are those things we always try to hide; the works which in dark minds we confide. Mortals are not what they think they are just as celestial distance shrinks a star.

Wow! Some truths are better left unsaid...IF they will harm another. Honest dealings are the right way; we must show love to our brothers. Very nice thought inspiring poem, Adeleke. Thanks for your wise words.
