Re-Lie-Ability

Habitual liars, story spinners Elasticizing their version of the truth, Taking it and whomever they can On a seemingly endless journey Into oblivion. They can feed you the same lie 8 ways past Sunday. Expect you to believe it And further expect to get away with it. Gettin' you caught up in their whirlwind Just to see how fast and long They can make your head spin. Fool me once, shame on you, Fool me twice, shame on me. Ha ha ha ha what a fool believes! Always runnin' lies Like game on a playa. Walkin' and jive talkin' With the naysayers. Now see, a vigilant and open mind Knows and sees the warning signs Gracefully steps aside Tellin' the liar and his bull to ride on by. Knowledge and wisdom are the reliability Of the vigilant one's path as much as The liar's re-lie-ability continually Fuels their wrath on a Seemingly endless journey Into oblivion.
