The greatest truth is a lie!!! 
So…I disguise the truth 
amongst shadows because the 
mere sunlight will echo balls of 
fire. So I want to go higher…
beyond, beyond before to what 
was when the thought of what 
was wasn’t the lie that it had 
become....

Is there absolute truth found in complete fabrication,
or is sincere honesty just a form of misrepresentation?

Veracities and falsities can be seen by the naked eye,
when the human soul sees the depth of the truth or a lie.
Nothing can change what is or what is meant...

When the lies, the violence and the hate
  get to be too much
I am lost, come to the party far too late

 of what the future still can be
while destruction...

Twisting & Seeping
Driving & Colliding
Losing & Departing
Tempted & Stolen
Hated & Despised
These are our truths
Boiling beneath the surface.

Sweet & Kind
Honest & Loyal
Beautiful & Graceful
Munificent & Generous
These are our lies
Dancing as Marionettes upon our faces....

Sometimes I wonder what’s truth and what’s lies,
Hovering between my sanity and dreams,
Wishing for a light to guide me through caverns
Of deceit and anger, punishment and fear,
Hiding in webs spun of hatred and tears,
Hoping you’ll pass me and keep right on looking,
For the girl that...

Truth and lies are part of life
Truth is honest. Lies cause strife
Truth is good for loving hearts
Lies will break you from the start 

Truth makes love grow a lot faster
Lies will make your love disaster
Truth helps you grow really close
Lies bring you worry and woes...

A lie begets a lie begets a lie
When you say good-bye to truth, its bye, bye.
For there's no way to tell the difference
    between what is truth stretched out tight and taut
    and lines of lies hanging there enticing...

In the labyrinth of time, where truth and lies dance,
I wander among the shadows of thoughts, seeking wisdom's light,
Wondering why, in recent centuries, the learned have lost their way in the mist,
While the simple have carried the flicker of truth in their palms.
I see around...

Truth
                 Real, Factual
    Enlightening, Touching, Moving
Fidelity, Sincerity, Honesty, Constancy
     Deceiving, Bluffing, Misleading

Truth and Lies spar in the shadows,
Truth is confident and stands strong.
But Lies is slippery, a wily opponent,
Quick to spot the smallest  opening
.
Lies may present as pure white.
If Truth is weak for just a moment,
Lies will comfort and divert thought.
The moment overrides the future..

Live free or die!

Freedom of speech
May be the root of all our freedoms

If all we can do is parrot others.

Look around
