Pessimistic Promise

A promise is the greatest lie ever told 
Deconstructed fibs have fooled so many 
Nobody cares for the truth when a lie is more interesting
Breaking down our judgement with each lie we consume 
Who can be trusted with the truth?
Despair arises after the promise is not for filled 
We have been poisoned my friend 
Sweet talk me with the truth,
for a promise is nothing more than a great lie 
The plot thickens.......
