Liars

Mendacious people are serious,
when presenting their case.
They’re dishonest, deceitful,
always with a straight face.
They skulk in the shadows,
and others will deride.
Falsehood is a tunic,
they seem to wear with pride
Perhaps It all starts,
with an innocent white lie.
Then grows to the point
where they lie to get by.
