My nephew asked me today why people lie. Oh, from the mouths of babes. After he left, I sat down and this came out.
Lies.
Insidious, dangerous, contagious
But oh so useful.
Do you lie?
Of course you do as do I.
Why?
Ease, comfort, vanity.
The list can go
On.
Lies.
Little whites,
Whoppers,
Simple B.S.
Why?
Expediency,
Simplification,
Indoctrination.
Lies
Every now and again
Every day
Whenever, Wherever
Why?
Simply because
We are human.
