Premium Member The Plague

Truth is as much a plague for the lips of falsehood as are lies a plague for the soul!

Men Cruelty Beasts Pity

The man invested in  total falsehood
killing without mercy, cruel insanity
the informal beasts have further pity
they only kill to eat as a simple mood

Literature Lost Love

Love in itself has swam through definition
Teetered between truth and falsehood
That which is written is long forgotten
Shakespeare sighs in defeat

Falsehood

Insincere Siamese sisters:
                   one Left,
                     another Right 
                  same body
                  different souls !

Premium Member Light of Truth V

A day,

Living under the light of truth is more rewarding  

Than

A lifetime, of living in the obscurity of falsehood!

Premium Member Falsehood's Language

If one's tongue,

Proficient in the language of falsehood has

Become

It is hard for it

The language of truth to pronounce!

Premium Member Vs Vs Vs

Statesman vs politician
Priest vs Holy Man
Truth vs Falsehood
Evil vs Good

(Love can never hate)

Heart Attacks:

God cuts man slack
in which man foolishly
ties knots – Soul Clots.

Falsehood

Fitting like second skin,
far better than what he
finds in the closet. Now 
feathered, a Mardi Gras;
floating on dance of lies.
False hopes of romance masked,
For this man's lonely schemes.

Premium Member Frozen In Pretense

truth is abandoned - falsehood clings to hollow minds like snow covered trees
 deceit is burdensome, making weary minds numb, frozen in pretense

Strong, Brave and True

To be strong is to be strengthened 
         by one's weakness.


  To be brave is to be undaunted 
         by the terror of fear.


  And, to be true is to be fiercely 
         disloyal to falsehood!

The Last Laugh

Told over and over,
the lie became true

As memory inverted,
the falsehood imbued

My cornerstone crumbling,
sticks piled with straw

A last self-deception
—the fantasy law

God can’t change, but

Johnson believed that
war’s proponents use falsehood
to garner support . . .
this wise man died the same day
the atomic bomb got dropped

Silence Most Deadly

The intention of silence…
  to expose or deceive

Its power much greater,
  than most would believe

Sometimes to say nothing,
  speaks loudest of all

The quiet most deadly
   —when falsehood befalls

Soul

Consciously…
Unconsciously…
Streams of query flow
Walls of falsehood erased
Screens of delusions get torn.
Springs of truth soothingly creep in.
Hunger satisfied, my heart comes home.
Days, nights, and seasons find endless newness.

Premium Member As Part of the Play

That was the false confession day,
My friend seemed true in every way;
If he could tell his wife, 
Falsehood of all his life,
Why did she hug him tight and sway...?

Souls For Keeps

Cheap self now
Afford self-doing
Vulgar to so after-
Mass-ive tumor
That is eating,
And beating this needing
Eyes cries for the lies
Stained in youth drains
These young veins
Falsehood tyrants rule
Over peons passed
Loveliness lives like loneliness

Break the Chain

break the chain of lies 
cute off the source 
of the falsehood 
being created 
cute it off at the pass
before it has a chance to 
move forward down the 
same destructive path 
that it has walked down 
year after year causing 
chaos were ever it stepped

Elba Blues

That unshared secret…
a crawlspace of denial
where shadows keep your heart at bay,
lonely all the while

To hide in darkened corners,
as falsehood lends its smile
your mind left cramped—all virtue tramped,
banished and exiled
