What Lies Beneath a Lie
I have harnessed my power,
And I have unleashed its full potential,
I am in full control even in rush hour,
I dare not tell the truth for I will lose the control.
Take me as a bulwark,
A shield, defender and guardian angel in a coup,
Yes I have all the facts in bank,
I dare not tell the truth for I need to protect you.
I have worked my head out,
Consequently earning irreproachable complect,
My reputation supersedes my mistakes, no doubt,
I dare not tell the truth for I will lose respect.
I have created a slippery slope due to snowball lies,
The kind to make an atheist convert,
A disbelieving woman believe in bies,
I dare not tell the truth for the sake of the trend quirt.
See I may have a personality disorder,
So the lie doesn’t matter to me anyway,
I want it to be the truth recorder,
I dare not tell the truth for I compulsively lie each day.
Man made money,
Money made man’s madness reign,
Conceiving greed dripping of honey,
I dare not tell the truth for I need financial gain.
