lies
Lies
Some call them a little white lie,
However, what is so pure white about a lie.
There is deceit, and deception, behind a lie,
Because if it wasn't, then why does it have such concealment in a lie,
It does take much imagination to dig into their bag of tricks to pull out another lie.
Where you find yourself, have to make up other lies to cover the first lie, just allot of duplicity in a lie.
Lies become harmful and hurtful, causing suffering.
Which causes distress, and there is no buffering.
A lie can kill in a second and can last forever.
So if you are lying, stop it because others have to endeavor.
Lies will steal, and they kill.
