Some People Choose To Lie

Some people just choose to lie Betray others, as some way of life Act nice to others and it’s all a farce The rain will fall on them one day In the darkest hour of time Because, they threw their conscience to the wind The storm was strong enough to overcome them So they gave in and found their way Amidst the thunder that bellowed Throwing lightning bolts of lies What happens when the rain turns on them? Rather than flying high above others, With thunderous booms and flashes in the sky They will be grounded and drenched By the consequences of their actions Having to look at themselves Learning they betrayed their selves, first Heidi Sands 6/10/18

"Oh! What a tangled web we weave..." Enjoyed your use of rain, wind, storm, thunder and lightening. How much better to tell the truth and rise above the storm. Excellent write, Heidi.

There are consequences in life..people who choose to lie may succeed in the moment, but truth always manifests. Your poem has a great message for us all..well written, Heidi.
