Eve Roper Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

The Truth of Falsehood

lies
big or 
little
they’re  still wrong,   
denying     
breath of  guilt thrives  
burning slowly    
 
social lubricant  
enhance personal     
misleading  gain.  
ripples in streams
flow outward
in the end
big or
meager,
lies!

Joanna Daniel August 2, 2016 at 8:59 AM I love the theme you chose to write on:) There is no such thing as a white lie - white lies are still lies:)

Alexis Y. July 30, 2016 at 10:23 AM Hi Eve, I enjoyed these piece and it's message. Lies not only hurt they destroy "our" lives . Lies lead to more lies. When does it end? It ends with the truth! Nobody is perfect but we must strive to put our best foot forward. Great job. Good luck in the contest. A Big seven:-) Alexis

Joseph P. DiMino July 30, 2016 at 9:58 AM Great poem! Far more easier to say when no perceived immortal consequences. God how I miss loving prayer in school at the beginning of each day. When taken out of public schools it was the beginning of the end, not only for this nation, but the world--for the Light was turned off.

Andrea Dietrich July 28, 2016 at 1:49 AM I can't figure out if we are to read backwards word by word or line by line. I tried going word by word and it's SO difficult. It had to be very babyish the way I had to do it. Anyway, your poem has a lot of meat to it, Eve. Well done.(love the shape it took)

Eileen Manassian July 28, 2016 at 1:18 AM So true. I was moved by this....Lies may seem like a temporary solution to a bigger problem, but....in the end, when they are discovered, they hurt even more. Great poem and I love quote as well. Hugs, dear.
