Beware to tell the truthful from the false.
Whenever truth and false go masquerade.
Or else you will be made to live appalled
by brillant lies and promises, enthralled
via Lucifer's iniquities replayed.

Beware to tell  the truthful from the false.

Such lies will only lead to bitter gall.
Don't listen to vile plans cunningly made.
Or else you will forced  to live  appalled,
bounded  by deception's  granite walls
and swiftly lead to  death's rotating blades.

Beware to tell the truthful from the false.


Triumphant serpents hiss when truth is mauled.
They serpentine in the abyss of death's shade.
Unless you wish to live your life appalled

Beware to tell the truthful from the false.

(big huggssssss) Oh Radrook, this is wonderfully haunted, sweet friend, unfortunately there are many who lie among everyone and that saddens me! (sad sigh) If there is anything I hate more than anything, it is to tell a lie! (sigh) This is well-said, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Radrook, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Radrook, this is a poem filled with truths in it. I hate to be lied to. Even if the truth hurts, I'll get over it. When I'm made to believe in an untruth, it really hurts. I've never understood how a person can be so deceiving to people and still look themselves in the mirror. I've been told that I'm  TOO honest !!??!! Is there such a thing??
Thanks for sharing.

Love To All,
Ethel

Yes, isn't it sad when one places one's whole trust in a person or an organization and the whole thing turns out to be lies?
Too much of that going around!

Thanks for feedback everyone.
God bless!

I absolutely loved this! It is just so true that you have to beware of lies masquerading as truth. You know there's an old, old saying that my Mother taught me to try and prevent just such a thing...
Believe none of what you hear, and only half of what you see...
Awesome write Radrook!!

Glad you enjoyed!

Someone who lies breaks the unspoken agreed trust that we are speaking truth for the sake of social harmony. After all, if we could not rely on ANYTHING said to us, then civilization would not be possible. Imagine a planet where the creatures lied at least 99% of the time. Could such a civilization even really arise? If so--how?
