Making Things Up As You Know

Goodbye Little white lie Watching a person breakdown and cry It starts off innocent enough But in the end accusations could be rough Some brag While flipping through the tabloid mag Is it a fantasy trip? Wanting control planning life’s script Throwing words around Social leaders in the town Spewing sensitive results Bitterness showing up as insults Ignoring injuries and who’s at fault Sounding good neighbors’ impress Gullible audience avoiding a mess Is it all right blurring the truth? Disregarding any credible proof Or is it a comfort act If handled properly with tact Staging area a better place To explain their case There is a way Fiction does pay Write a book Develop a plot, imagine a hook Add character ingredients like a cook Cast a line Worth a dime Reader will interpret the message in their own mind Fish around and a scene will come Antagonist lose, protagonist won Sweet or stinks Authored works will make one think A paperback writer Is a turn page fighter Letting everyone know Putting on a one on one show Battling a foe? Let it go Pick up the pen Unleash the internal creative gem Address it to the publisher, attach and send Waiting for the reviews hoping they defend Earning a few bucks not caring when
