Lies

Darn those sweet little lies Deceiving duplicitous disguises Tainting and twisting the truth Loathsome lessons learned at youth Casually coloring confessions Secretly shrouding indiscretions Desperately dodging discovery Sometimes slandering skulduggery Distorting details is dishonest And should always be admonished an original poem by Daniel Turner
