Silent Lies

I listen to lies
Invisible wind is heard
Silence says no words
People lie without speaking
As I listen, beseeching

Another great Tanka poem John. It's true, some of the greatest lies are silent, such as what our mass media doesn't tell us ! Check out infowars.com

That's right, we all lie. But silent lies seem louder somehow. JH

People lie without speaking, their lies are in body language, in faces, in actions.
