Lying isn’t limited to words
You can see it in actions:
A confident smile
Granting “salvation” though any “army”
Taking your persistence pills
Pursuing the unattainable
A million silent curses
In a sea of laconic axioms
The reward in the risk
Kismet
Camouflaging inexperience with enthusiasm
Smugness were your heart does cartwheels
Rationing memories, holding them like gold
Everything’s got a moral, if you can find it
