Lying Tower

Lies... stack them up like foam blocks, all foamy— or wooden blocks be wooden Higher, and higher, piled on top of the other, teetering A foundation built on lies Sky high, too high one last lie to put on top, one more lie as white and light as a feather but it is enough to let everything topple over... c_ O_ L_ l_ a_ P_S_ i_ N_g Liar mother, what becomes your child? liar child, what will become of you? 02212012127a133

I wonder how many names can you derive from your name NIKKO. Beautiful theme on lies on this piece. I am trying to figure out your avatar picture. Is it a bread? I know my guess is wrong! CG (sige) Love Dalila

A very profound poem Nikko.. I love the laddery effect of collapsing..No matter how the truth can hurt in life sometimes,but it can never hurt as much as a lie..Very deep Nikko,Hope you are fine dear :).I'm on and off here lately,im having quite some tough nauseas:) Hope they pass quick.

Missy, I absolutely love everything about this write even the format but I especially love the questions you pose at the end because ultimately that is what it is all about! ;) I am about to start my day and will nag you later about the name change :D *mwahugs*
