Life of Lies

Corporate men in blazers portrayed by boys empty hands but constantly in a boast life in real goes opposite in each choice a desert’s wretch, flaunts so big on the coast acts so different, a real life disguise stories with second chapters right from birth even in death, the grave won’t play the dice as this life is made and covered in dirt cheat and deceit are character parents more falsehood to overcome more sorrow such victories stay as a short term rent in the end, consequences will burrow empty stones stick to form a rearguard then becomes corrupted in this regard.

Lies hide to protect the host, and so everyone else becomes an observer of life, always on the outside looking inside. In so many instances, many are forced to accept deception even against their will. A convincing write. (^_^) Noel.

Very profound. A lot of serious life experience with analysis went into this work. Truth is everything. Your work is so refreshing for its honesty and original language.

Just make me think of a great poet friend who got deceived by one whom at his age he was proud to count among his close friends all through life. We all have the so much to give to the world each a unique package but why many of us die miserable by making others miserable...I read the lines several times.

My thoughts exactly. So many of us are deceived into thinking that personal gain is more important than honesty and integrity. In the end we find we have gained only our own damnation by being self serving and never giving thought to anyone or anything else. Great write. A seven form me. God Bless, JB
