Welcome

Welcome 
To both one and all
From the short to the tall
I assure you my friends this question relates to you all
Cast your attention upon the 2 boxes displayed in front of you
Notice how both are clearly marked 
Box 1 name is  , Truth
Box 2 is label'd,  Lie
Now I ask you sincerely which 1 would you rather buy
Box 1 seems bland at first easily missed
Box 2 is aesthetic with decoration kissed
That's why I believe the truth is often missed
Why deception so many choose to form a tryst
As more appealing appears the lie
Than the truth upon which it does rely

Deception leads to more deception until the truth cannot be determined. Insightful message here, creatively conveyed, Christopher. Well done! Love, Carolyn
