It's Harder
It’s harder to lie in verse or a poem,
than it is with dialog or prose
It’s harder to bend the truth over a feeling,
than around what you or someone else knows
It’s harder to feign an eruption of light,
or the isolation of being alone in the dark
It’s harder to mislead with a few chosen words,
than with tomes that were written to outsmart
(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2016)
