Telling Lies

Telling Lies Make your words worthy of speech Your knowledge credible to teach Understanding of what it implies When you are telling lies Your dialogue impeccable by design Augmented by your thoughts divine Looking deep within someone’s eyes Sympathetic effect of telling lies Perceptive to what lies may portray Evolving to where truth goes astray The legitimacy you no longer recognize When you’re deeply entrenched in telling lies

Well said, Charlie. Unfortunately it is something we all do or have done at one time or another. Be honest is one of the first lessons a parent tries to teach their children. Still. we do it anyway.
