I have began to realise many support the untruth 

leaving them a blind victim possessed by lies 

Do not let fear control you the most terrifying monster released is the one whom is invited into your soul This delusional disorder has drifted faraway from the truth those that support taking away the joy of living afraid in the end of death they will be held captive beyond belief Hounding the innocent destroying the balance of rights the cure becomes the curse unmasked by demons hiding behind a body is this warped sense of security Tormented by ill judgement they accuse everyone but them self ego follows a narrow path following corrupted politics lawmakers have become unlawful enforcers driven by power Bought by their lack of understanding victims of destiny when knees bend every mistake will become visible there is no place to hide we only have one life when the sands of time run out how did we cope with trials

It does seem that lies and deception have become the normal and people would rather believe a lie instead of the truth. Enjoyed reading your work this morning. Sara

So many inequities in life allover--a powerful write in search of truthfulness.

- You're right ... The truth is that all people lie, every single day - But when the lies take a serious direction, how to mock the liar? - Black stories about white liars ... the world's most powerful men are a liar, it gets dangerous - A powerful poem, Liam - Have a lovely weekend ... take care :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)
