Truth and Lies
Truth is a concept that requires immense faith
In what we think we know to be true
Most evidence is subjective
And dependent on our view
But statements declared
Should be what we have learned
It's the intent that determines
Whether honesty is concerned
Truth and Lies are never the same
They cannot coexist
Word to the wise
This should need no reprise
Don't let lies persist
There are times we feel the appropriate choice
Is to proclaim what we know to be false
We justify this by convincing ourselves
It's better for us all
Deception can lead
To a treacherous existence
It just makes sense to protect
Remains of innocence
Truth and Lies are never the same
They cannot coexist
Word to the wise
This should need no reprise
Don't let lies persist
