Your words, like air transparent, empty holding nothing but the breath that it takes for your mouth to speak the lies and I despise the sound of your forked tongue making its speech. Honesty is beyond your reach. |

I wasn't paying much attention today, but I think it was from Oprah, who was quoting from a book of simple rules for life, and oh-I-liked-this very much: "Don't believe the lies you tell other people." Your poem rather captured the a-ha moment of that, and made me think a little deeper. Thanks for the share, gentle one.  |

Someone recently told me that they were about to tell a white lie and thought of me and couldn't do it. I am unfailingly honest. The downfall of that is that I am always horribly hurt when someone lies to me. I expect what I give and it's a huge let down most the time. Don't put up with lies Donna. if they really care, they don't have to lie or be afraid (lying to me is fear). you did good here. "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |
