Poetry: Villanelles about truth

by Cecil Hickman

Created on: April 10, 2011   Last Updated: April 11, 2011

Righteous truth does die quietly it seems.
Not supposed to be that way for resolve.
Lies seem to live longer, though they are wrong.

Now it seems we believe lies much quicker
They grow stronger and told more often too.
 Righteous truth does die quietly it seems.

Countries deceive each other many ways.
Countries deceive their people everyday
Lies seem to live longer, though they are wrong.

Parents serve to show children the right way.
Children seem to believe internet more.
Righteous truth does die quietly it seems.

All things whether real or fake hold on tight.
Explained by one, not personally known,
Lies seem to live longer, though they are wrong.

Why is it this way, when did it all change
Will it ever again be different?
Righteous truth does die quietly it seems.
Lies seem to live longer, though they are wrong.
