Lies

Lies

I have my rhythm

I follow no chain

Your new joined link

Won't change my ways

I wish what I do

I hide my lies

I bleach my routes

I hide my eyes

I look up

when you look down

I might laugh loud

To hide my frown

What am I

If I am untrue

I've seen your cards

And you lie too

I mind my own

You should too

So why am I

No better than you?

I like your clever play on words especially the first stanza, if there is any grain of truth in
this piece, it is that we all lie in one way or another...

Nice word play here and an interesting analysis of the art of lying. I think everybody lies at some point or other although many prefer to use innocuous terms like "embellishment" instead. You call it for what is is. Laughed at "bleached my routes" - nice wit. But for me the final stanza sums it all up perfectly. I always say that it's not the lying that's the issue, it's the why. I really liked this, an entertaining read, thanks :) Justine
