Let the Truth Catch Up To Lies

Words rich with wanting eyes Tongue sharpened filled with lies Capturing thoughts a wanting heart Wealthy with smooth sweet buttered words Capturing the soul deep within Mingling lies with truth Confusing an innocent heart Close your eyes and listen Sight will not find the heart Nor will words spoken in vain Actions bring the truth empty words deceive Linger through time and the truth you will find For speed by passes the truth Let the truth catch up to lies Then the eyes will see a true heart Not one filled with lies

How I enjoyed reading this poem Bobby. I actually feel sorry for people that tell lies, they are normally covering up a huge complex, or a very troubled childhood. -I love your two lines 'For speed by passes the truth, Let the truth catch up to lies', a clever write. Hugs and blessings my friend. Jennifer.
