Temptation

Away,
go,away
      I'll not play
your game;
 
Begone,
false words
     have no part
in truth;

Deceit
drips lies
     to lubricate
its ego;

Untruths
manipulate,
     and selfishly
control;

Depart,
I'll not listen
     to your wiles..

Simple to read and easy to understand while conveying much descriptiveness. Good write Brian.
