Notes About The Poem

This poem attempts to show the harm done to a persons own reputation when they lie about the smallest things, even argue for a new truth, just to create a fictional story of themselves.... the social media. How much can we trust people who put up misleading stories and photos.

Truth Matters

It all mattered so much it hurt, 
It mattered for his little show,
It mattered so much for his performance, 
That truth was the first thing to go,

The truth of the small things that weren’t very big, 
The truth that was easy to change,
To make his performance notably better, 
To make us all watch him on stage,

But what didn’t matter, mattered to us, 
All the small lies that were spread,
Became a warning about this little man, 
We just didn’t trust what he said,

Till now, it seems, he’s alone in his life, 
His friends have got on with their lives,
And he has been left wanting attention, 
Not seeing that we see his lies.
