A lie has tremendous
power
To trick, to dupe,
to deceive,
Until people don't
know
What they should
believe.
Lies dealt profusely
Appear in varied
capacities,
And artful dealers
can make
Untruths sound like
veracities.
Though they're sickeningly sweet,
Unctuous, and runny,
Lies can nonetheless give
The truth a run for
its money.
A news agency
Can don a clever
disguise,
And then as sly as a
Fox,
Spread its
vicious lies.
Mendacious
information
Insults the people
that hear it.
History has shown us
That there's a
reason to fear it.
We see all the time
That lies have a
snowball effect
And gather more
momentum
When they go
unchecked.
When leaders resort
to lying,
Though their words
are disproved,
The people will live
in bondage
Until that leader's
removed.
The truth can
sometimes hurt.
Falsehoods, however,
annoy,
Bear down on
humanity,
Abuse, defile, and
destroy.
