Flies and Lies

When you see so many flies Be careful, there is a carrion Somewhere. Behave like a lion Run, run. The flies are all over your thighs They can surely and slowly devour you. An environment, which is full of lies Will eventually crumble too. Lies cannot fly Through the clouds, in the sky. When you witness so many flies Somebody may be telling a lot of lies. When it is too good to be true Something is not right and untrue. Don't believe everything you hear A carcass may be hidden under the soil here.
