Small Lies

SMALL LIES
It’s in the small lies
Where the devil lies
Awaiting with small eyes
To take you down the evil isles

It’s for the small lies
That we pay the greatest price
Before God’s eyes
They’re all lies





It’s the small lies
That  breed the big ones 
Those that make eyes rise
They that cause cries

It’s the small lies
That cost you the prize
For when one lies
His soul surely dies

                                  Bright Githui
