Truth Versus Lies
The truth has retired
 A plot yet conspired
 But morals must not be
 Misconstrued by liars
 If the honesty’s the policy
 The manual has fallacies
 For every lie that is sung
 Every slip of the tongue
 Truth has been given an incurable malady
 An illness unimaginable
 Wreaks havoc that’s unfathomable
 Its symptoms, small and white
 Can grow to lies that seek to damage homes
 Savage clones, replicating
 Bear false witness, implicating
 Testimonies under oath
 Hand on Bible, premeditating
 To leave our words crippled and maimed
 In this dishonest state, once released their untamed
 Presented as truths, like a sheep with wolves’ brains
 The blood of a predator flows through its veins
 But remove the façade, the lie still remains
 Watching and waiting to prey on its prey
 The prey being preyed on, must pray and keep faith
 The lies taking over will soon meet their grave
 And truth, in all glory, forever will reign
