When Someone Lies
When someone lies and does it well,
It makes it very hard to tell
That in his head, the truth must dwell,
Though very deeply hidden.
The stories that he tries to sell,
Repeated like a broken bell,
Affect some people like a spell,
Disturbing and forbidden.
If numbers of his fans do swell
And his supporters start to kvell*,
Then we’re all going straight to hell,
Our virtue overridden.
*burst with pride and joy
