The Truth About Lies

Requelne Arnold 2006 (Cape Town)

Rhymed
The Truth About Lies

When one lies
Those lies are sure to multiply
Which then divides one
From the truth

A relationship can surely not
Be built on lies
It would be similar to
Walking with your shoes untied

Lies are bad
But the truth is good
Our creator does not tell lies
And nobody should

We should put an end to all lies
Which would clear up the skies
And we would be able to look at others
Honestly, in their eyes

About this poem

We live in a society which lacks honesty, and because of that lack of honesty many people were punished for no reason ,relationships were damaged and so many more unpleasant events have occurred.
