The Truth

I do not listen to words that are spoken I pay close attention to actions Actions are solid Promises are words and promises are always broken To me words are tools of deception Manipulated and rearranged to distort a perception I wonder if the people who lie so much look in the mirror and lie to their own reflection Those people need some serious introspection Speaking the truth comes from the heart But for some people speaking the truth is the hard part Some are so good at lying they have transformed it into an art Lies can tear family and friends apart I know one thing for sure … I hate being lied to How about you? Only speak what is true Never let your words go askew
