The Truth of Lies

A lie is quick
Yet shies from light.
A truth is patient
And always right.
Live with fear
Live with pain,
Heavy choices
For one will remain.
Tell the truth
Hurt your friends.
Tell a lie
And friendship ends.
This is the burden
Life does plead
We choose one
And back our deed.
As once we stood
At the promised land
Our judgement is met
With God's hand
So tell your tales
Spread your lies
Live with fear
As honor dies
Nothing remains
For a dishonest soul
Who hides from light
In nights shadowy fold
To share imagination
And speak ones dream’s
Is not the same
As a liar’s schemes
The truth is there
In every shameful lie
Just beneath
The fabricators cry.
The lie is quick
It fears the light
The truth is painful
Yet always right.
