LIES


one to cover another the defence of consequence
the shield of punishment and the defender of shame
when the tales of time will relay the blame
you stand and tell your friend or you foe
you make up a story and what you want them to know

you stand steed fast with what you have said
things to cover questions will fill up your head
some times the bad things that you have done
can not always be covered with just the one

you will never tell the true events
so that you are not subject to the consequence
round and round your story goes
whether its true no body knows

when you get away with it once you learn to rely
to not tell what's true to cover your crime
but one to many sets you out on the road
leaves you with plenty of time and no fixed abode

to think what you've done and what you have said
then you feel sorry for all the tears that where shed
but still now you do it and carry on with old ways
it just helps you get through the days

some times its compulsive you just do it well
even the closest can't even tell
they have there suspicions but never quite see
two people know and that is god and me

when my life is over i will have to explain
to peter at the gates and take the punishments and shame
there will be no escape and be no discies
saint peter and god can see through my lies

Dear Andrew, welcome back and Happy New Year!

Lies are a wicked thing you are right. I know a saying in German, which says:

Wer einmal lügt dem glaubt man nicht
und wenn er auch die Wahrheit spricht!

Who lies once is not trusted anymore
even if he speaks the truth!

But I do trust that God will be much more comprehensive! Some lies are told because we don't want to be blunt with truths that might hurt others ...

You wrote this well, with insight.

Love,
Margherita
