The Mystery of Lying

Trust is rare & Truth is Free
Lies will cost you... More than a Fee
Why do we Lie....What is the High
To cover who we are
Or just to Comply
Is it easier now
To give a false Reply
Amazing somehow
All can Justify
Dusting tracks from last night
Just list the facts
& No fight will Ignite
The tip toeing Acts
That were tracked at midnight
Is it shame from what we pursue
Then why do we do what we Do
A shameful mention
Of No intention hurt you
Yet your intentions are guilty
And just another Excuse
Your eyes read filthy 
As well as your smell too
Why not be honest
& Do as you Promise
Who has the Answer
Who has the Knowledge....
