Poetry: Lies

by Asif Joosub

Created on: January 28, 2009   Last Updated: March 16, 2009

With a spotted tongue
I been telling lies since I was young
Telling one lie
To get out of another
Now no matter how hard I try
To people I'm a compulsive bother

No truth comes out of me not one word
And if you tell me a secret
You can bet on it I won't be able to keep a lid
Lies
And despise
Is my everyday staple diet

How can I convince you?
That I want to change
When already this sentence I have a different view
I think I can tell the truth out of a lie
But honestly I don't want to try
Do you find that strange?

You think about it for a while
I have to go
To my billions I must say hello
And spend with a big smile
A quick toast
To lies
And all it implies
At least I'm honest about it now I'm off to somewhere else to boast
