If Truth Be Told

by Cne

Lairs twist life so it's tasty to the lazy Powerful to the weak and crazy Brilliant and seductive to the ignorant youth But even in pain, there is beauty in the truth Even a tiny bit of deceit is dishonorable For only cowards lie selfishly without preamble As lies only strengthen a liar's defects A liar's character, mind, & spirit gains no positive affects The abuser of the truth paints with disappearing colors Valuing the canvass at worthless dollars For once the veil of the facade is lifted Honesty, integrity and trust can never be re-gifted. Unhappy are the takers Or why else be fakers? But to devastate the essence of the believer Measures the cruelty of the deceiver Inner peace with self deception Is the doing of one's own soul's destruction However if truth be told When lies gradually unfold, Is it better to be the believer Or the deceiver?
