Once a Buyer At the Liar
he sold a lot from lies he told
the same he sold to men of old:
for him to sell
some lies we tell.
Goods like leaves sunburn unrooted
Abundance bought to wither sure
To lie about my age for fame
To lie along the rakes for shame
And when discovered I a store
with truth and life and so much more:
for Him to sell
some truths we tell.
Goods like leaves sunned and deep-rooted
A few seeds sown to blossom sure
Once a buyer at The Liar
Now a buyer at The Truth-er
