Fear Is a Liar

Words roll off your tongue,
                                           
like a wet pile of dung.
                                                 
Do you not know what you say,
                                     
one day you will need to pay.
                                       
You tell a little lie,
                                                       
then you make many cry.
                                             
Your name is now liar,
                                                 
how do you like your new attire.
                                   
I think it fits you well,
                                                 
with your new smell.
                                                   
You can never again be trusted,
                                   
so many are now disgusted.
                                         
Was it really worth it,
                                                   
to be a counterfeit.
                                                     
Truth will always win,
                                                   
over your deadly sin.

You turned this poem into a fitting slam one, Paula. Fear sows doubt, freezes our sense of immunity, weakens our faith. I prefer one flutter of joy, than a thousand flutters of fear!! ~ Regards // paul

Deceit is the worst sin in the world. It can destroy families. I know first-hand what it means. Luckily my late wife did not believe the lie and it drew us nearer.
