Mendacity
February 19, 2010
Hidden truth
Never revealed
We’re living in the shadow of our lies.
Trying hard
To break through
The walls we build between ourselves and the world.
Looking for
The right words
To keep others from making our mistakes.
Flowing words
Fixing everything,
But it’s only another form of hypocrisy.
Lie to us,
Tell us that
The truth won’t save us in this world of falsehoods
