I mean:

DO WE REALLY HAVE TO LIE ABOUT
IT ?
---
Say you distrust the govt and want to warn folks
About it
But-----is EVERY calamity an "inside job!?"
I know -----
You just want to establish the possibility in people's minds
BUT --- that REALLY doesn't justify the purposeful deception
Going on!

DO WE REALLY HAVE TO LIE ABOUT
IT ?
----
AND SURE
Poets TOO
here on HP
you look at another poet 's ACTIVITY !

I mean :
In the last hour
did this writer actually read 150 poems THAT HE LIKED!

And is now following 40 of them!

Oh
(You know)
He just wants to be read!
Nothin wrong with that
We all want to be read
But
DO WE REALLY HAVE TO LIE ABOUT
IT?
--
So the girl, say, is lonely  and wants friends
NEEDS  friends

So she tells this guy that she really likes him
Maybe tells 2 or 3 guys that---
Or even that she loves them

AND ACTS IT OUT!

We all been there

Nothing wrong with it

They needed the attention too
But

DO WE REALLY HAVE TO LIE ABOUT
IT!?
----
Now
You all can write the rest of it for yourselves
About
RAMIFICATIONS !
KARMA!

The EVENTUAL UNIVERSAL DISTRUST!

Etc
Etc

Of the effects of this type of lying
----
If I say it :
.
You'll accept what you want
Reject what you want

So you might as well simply think it out
For yourself

But when you tell others what you feel
please remember

YOU DONT HAVE TO LIE ABOUT
IT!

(I won't )
