A man can tell a thousand lies
never knowing the beauty of that which escapes him
The pride of greed and mulitple choice
outshine the treasure of undefiled commitment
Opportunities of purity pass him by
He allows them to scatter hither and there
All the while investing in stocks of nothing
while his discreet queen sits idly awaiting her
summit of strength
with appointed memories wasting in the wind
Carelessly sowing seeds of deceit
His false declarations are the value of his honor
To build sandcastles of mere mud and sediment
are the typical choice
forsaking the pearl and jaspar kingdom
he could joyfully inherit
Like the countless number of flowers in a field
or the sand immeasurable by the sea
Never knowing the beauty of that which escapes him
A man can tell a thousand lies
