Exploiting A Lie

A lie is worse than a curse A lie is a bad or false rumor on steroid A lie can hurt countless innocents A lie can cause unnecessary wars A lie can destroy human lives A lie is like a deadly disease or cancer A like can spread like wildfire on social media A lie can easily go viral. A lie is contagious A lie can send the wrong person to jail A lie can never be recanted or retracted A lie can easily fool an uneducated voter That’s why I will never vote for a criminal or a liar A lie leaves an indelible or permanent stain Regardless of the apologies Too little, too late Immigrants do not eat pets A lie is like genie out of the bottle Once genie is out, that’s it The damage is done and beyond repair One can never have the good reputation back It is extremely hard to fully recover As it is impossible or unimaginable to have a second birth Racist lies are very bad, deadly and inhumane A liar will do anything to win or avoid losing A liar is the scum of the earth It’s inconceivable for an educated person To follow a criminal or to vote for one Our world is in a sorry and incredible state A lie is a curse going in the wrong direction Hell is on earth. May God have pity on us! Infernus in terra. Deus misereatur nostril! May the Lord smile on us and forgive our sins! Copyright © September 2024, Hébert Logerie, All rights reserved.

I'd rather be hurt hearing a uncomfortable truth, than be comforted with a lie.

Powerful stuff & well written. We have seen the terrible impact of racist lies here too, best wishes from the UK.
