CONTROL YOUR FATE
Telling the truth, that would be keen;
Distorting the facts, now that's mean.
Your whole life, one big myth;
If sworn to testify, you would plead the fifth.
Being honest, you could never be;
For you are blind, being true you could never see.
You woud be bitten, if a fib was a snake;
Death by a viper, that would be your fate.
Your lips say one thing, but reality is in the eyes;
In the end, karma will catch up to your lies.

Other people know

They
CANDIED LIES
I ate your sweet sweet lies
like poisoned candy
rotting my soul with misery
A passion-starved wretch
in love with
She looked at me with her
Irish eyes, and I
Could not make out their message.
Dead eyes. Swollen with tears and
Guilt...
Blinking
In the beginning, before the influx of mindless reason, only truth existed.
Plentiful shades of perfection and imperfection
