A lighter shade of gray

There are lies of different colors,
not only black and white.
There are shades of gray
that often may
hide within the light.

There are bright and shining
bold face lies,
that stare you in the face.
Then there are those
that often pose
in truth’s promised place.

There are darker sides
that some may call
a jaded shade of true.
A colored interpretation,
but it’s just their point of view.

Then there’s those cloaked in silence
and whispered behind your back.
And those left lying for you to find
to lead you from the fact.
That all those pretty colors
cover the ugly lies.
And hide the truth and all it bares
from your very eyes.
