Lying
December 22, 2013
Lying is a sin
You really shouldn't do it
But what would you choose
If it came down to it?
We claim we strive for truth
Never looking at the big picture
We lie everyday
Even to those we call Mrs. and Mr.
Lying is natural
Though some deny it
They are not in reality
But on an illusion diet
We lie for many reasons
Sometimes the truth is too hard
But you should know the consequences
Life isn't a playing card
We all pay in the end
One way or another
So know what you say
The next time you talk to your mother
