EASY LIES

EASY LIES


Easy lies the head that is
Free of the easy lies
That pervade the mind and tongue
And foul mutual ties.

Once a lie is told, one is
Bound to keep lying more;
In an attempt to keep its
Shaky moorings secure.

Often a web of lies does
Surround all that we see,
Making life itself a bit
Untruthful as can be.

It may be difficult to
Break the lying habit.
But if we want respect then
We must get out of it.
