What Lies Beneath The Lies

                                 What lies beneath the Lies?
                                Sometimes to hide offence,
                                Sometimes acts simple malice.

                              What lies beneath the Lies?
                              Sometimes to take revenge,
                              Sometimes just shadowing cries.

                             What lies beneath the Lies?
                              Sometimes to protect self,
                              Sometimes to guard distressed guys.

                              Sometimes to blame other,
                              Sometimes just to pretend nice.

                            What lies beneath Lies?
                             Sometimes greed encloses,
                             Sometimes morality dies. 

                             What lies beneath the Lies?
                             Several causes play.
                             Every time to analyze.
