In this silly human race there are so many
liars and cheaters who are always
getting in your face with lies
that disgrace.

Every day they look you straight in the eyes
with all of their many lies
and sometimes it is so hard
to understand why.

As humans we can only take
so much pain but so many are just
out for their own personal gain
and from inflicting pain these
liars do not refrain.

Self centered they are
just wanting to be the one and only star
as they feel the power of their lies
to those who are too scared
to ask why.

With lies they have control and power
and the ability to manipulate
when in reality their own life is
pretty sour so just walk away before
it becomes too late
and you start thinking that they might
be telling the truth on
any given day.

Realize that lying is all that they know
and that they are infectious parasites that
will disease your heart and soul
with their lies delivered to you in a chalice of
smiles and sweet kisses and be aware
that with those hugs and kisses
only come broken wishes
and steady misses.

If only
are the only two words
that can always
make one feel so lonely
as they cause you to
lose sight even though
you still have your vision...                                                        ­
