The Lies

The Lies
9 October 2019

Who do you believe?
The eyes that see
The ears that hear
Or the story been told and read

As fast as the bullet
And swift as the eyes blink
The catapulted mouth haunted 
The still pristine mind

A time to put this all at rest
Harbored lies and planted it
Each day it grows like flowers
Masking in pretty colors

Finding a good place in mind
To enter metaphorically
Questions would shatter
The mind-boggling story

The tale spit groundless words
Aimlessly drifting at the tongue’s mercy
Lies out now and how it will die
The zephyr of fraud pervades subtly

Now it belongs among wisdom’s gift
For some time stays a believable lie
Metamorphosing into truth
A lie becomes another lie
