God Knows Why

God Knows Why God knows why a grown man will lie While people will wrongfully assume The man is just a another loser A sociopath in whom truth has no room But God was watching when the man was a boy And another ripped away his security, his joy Leaving him shattered, confused and supposing He must have committed some wrongs For he no longer feels he belongs Now lies protect his vulnerability A liar molded from another's jealousy Why could she not know his devastating state Prompted by her own self-serving hate Yes it is true She crippled the innocent one For selfish gain, she caused his pain Denying what she had done Throughout his growing years His lies salt her tears She regards him of little worth All the while she was the cause By separating him from the one he loved best Now she lives with consequence of her sin Knowing her child suffers deep within She persists in claiming he lies by choice She is the damaged one Who destroyed the stability once known by her son My prayer is that God will deliver him one day Awaken his pure ,honest heart she drove away Now a man he doesn't know how precious he is He despises himself and when alone he will cry He does not know what makes him lie But God knows why....and so do I
