The Deserted Road

Gloated with its existence, Lie mocked Truth one day;
Folks yearn me more, despite your heavy weigh.

You are stark naked and I am well dressed;
I have the power to tarnish whatever facts stated.

Spreading faster than you, is my identity;
You are the deserted road, where no one found serenity.

Truth smiled and uttered, I am easy to remember;
I may hurt for a while, You blemish forever.

However petty you are, but lie remains a lie;
Truth always prevails, no matter how hard you try.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
