The Lies

The tape over my mouth
And the ear plugs
Are not working

Surrounded by lies
Protected by suspicions
The truth disappeared long ago

To uncover all the mysteries
Would be, too disturbing
It is better not to know

So for now,
I try hiding
All I can do is sneak on by

But,
The tape over my mouth
And the ear plugs
Are not working

The author's comments:
I constantly feel as though we have all lost the truth, and that's what this poem is about. How we are all losing the meaning of integrity.
