Free of All Lies

Belief in the end…
  if truth be your cross

To break or to bend
  veracity’s cost

Last judgment your own
  hawks chase as doves fly

One choice to atone
 —when free of all lies

I don't like being lied to, if someone has erred I would prefer they told the truth no matter how painful it may be rather than try to cover it up with even more lies:-( hugs Jan xx
