Christopher Flaherty Poet Free verse

White Lies For Anothers Sake

If you think that life 

Is supposedly supposed to be fair

I can only presume you may have

Taken a wrong turn and ended up
in fools heaven

As again just to me 

It sounds to me like

You or whomever told you

Or lead you into believing that

Has never really actually been

Anywhere near there

But yes for definitely

This I can most honestly and truthfully say

If Frank Sinatra owned the right

To do things his way

Then this is my way 

Of preserving my state of mental health

Not joining hands 

And being lead blindly by the blind 

And yes I take no pride nor joy

For expressing this my view point

Out loud or in a crowd 

As would nothing more nor less

Than for the above mentioned

Statement of the world to be true

But due to the fact it isn't

And I see it quite patently ain't 

Id much rather choose 

Not to make it any further worse

By acknowledging 

And predicating this

Unholy lie
