Truth in a Deceit
A life worth living
Filled with luxuries, far and wide
Of silver and gold
And jewels of every size
Feasts by the day
Fine wines, meats and ryes
Is such a life meaningful
When it was built upon lies?
For deceit is a hard catch, hard to see
Invisible to the eye
Evasive as a mouse
A fox’s cunning, and just as sly
Every word spoken
A truth in disguise
The poison-drenched syllables
Of a deadly snake who hides
Not concerned with those around them
The deceiver ruins lives
Crushes the hopes, dreams
Of those upon them for which they set their sights
And yet even the foul corrupter
Is not immune to that which they belie
For soon what started small
Becomes a silky web of lies
Ensnared in a knot
Forgetting where and how they tie
Ah yes justice is served
Ending in naught but a cry
The truth is always revealed
No matter the amount of time that has passed by
And yet in this world
Where honesty is a golden prize
There exists a sinister truth
Of a much darker dye
In the realm of mortals…
Everyone can lie…
