Poetry: Lies

by Adelani Aderemi

Created on: December 19, 2009

Lies came after the beginning

It did not exist at the beginning

A language crafted by Satan

A web spurn by the Deceiver of man

Net to catch men like fish

And drag them to hell to roast

Lies have many strands

One strand needs the other


Lies might have travelled for ages

Truth catches up in one day

Lie is the language of the thief

That comes to kill, steal and destroy

It is the gown of immorality

Lie has a girlfriend

Gossip is her name

The hobby of lie is fraud


Who loves darkness?

Who rejects the light?

Who rejoices in imperfection?

And insists on his own ways?

Lies plot against the truth

But a thousand houseflies

Dare the broom at their peril

The bigger the lie the bigger the fall
