The Lie
Beware the shelters
hiding in the arms of mendacity;
stretching forth disgruntled
tentacles.
They gather the weak
forgotten children who
never learned the ways of righteousness.
They gather the mindless lot
who seek to live only for themselves;
their lying meant only for hiding the lie
within which they abide.
Soon they are estranged even
unto themselves.
They have nowhere to turn except
the outstretched hand of Him,
He will reveal the truth of the lie
if one only asks.
