but if the government lies to you,
it's just business as usual politically.

The Truth Hurts

Why does the truth hurt?
Because we lie
That’s no lie
Even, I lie

And That's the truth

That's why the truth hurts

Premium Member Lies, In a Box

You gave me a box of darkness
Disguised as a heart of love
You locked my peace inside it
Then paraded for all the world

TRUST

Trust is number one
With and in anything
When you break
That trust, who's 
Going to believe 
Anything you say
NO ONE!

Lingerie Lies

Dressed in sex
Dripping night
Arched shadows
Licking light
Smeared silence
Succulent sighs
Framed flesh
Lingerie lies

The World lies on lies, 
The rise of  truths always 
Sound problems in minds 
And thoughts of some folks.

I thought you wanted me in you life
I thought you were my friend
But I realize now you only tolerate me

like a pile of crisp nachos
covered with cherry tomato salsa
waiting for the shower of cream.

Who never told the truth
When I asked her why
She had to lie
She said my name's not Ruth!

That lie will never define who they are, but it will define who you are.

Too stingy to lend a hand or give a dollar to an unfortunate
Where are the mourners?
Imagine that.

Eating your lies with a silver spoon
Now I’m on a diet
But you still try it
Gagging me with a new ruse

You’re trying to hide
I see it vaguely
In your eyes
I see it through
Your synthetic lies

Lies and Blues

I have always looked;
beyond the calm horizon;
and think about you 
With the memoirs of unscrewed;
vows, made of lies and blues

Deceiver, you smile
With subtle grace you hinge me
Rivers flow from you
Standing on the edge of time
No more will I believe you.

Carry Them Lies

People in limitations 
To carry weights 
Bundles of lies 
Always 
So heavy to carry 
From where comes energy 
To carry them lies

One side screams 'TIS TRUE
    the other side, YOU LIE ...

  When we can no longer distinguish
    the Truth will be extinguished
