Samuel Otieng Poet Rhyme

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.
