A Lie Poem by Alon Calinao Dy

A Lie

Rating: 4.9


My father approached me by surprise
And telling me, he wants to go to a Casino.
However, he'd like me to tell a lie.
I said to my father,
''My mother has the right to know.''


My friend called me on my mobile
To tell his Girlfriend
That he attended the meeting,
But he was on dating.
I confronted my friend,
I said, ''Better inform your girlfriend
Because I just can't tell another lie.''


My wife told me yesterday,
She said, ''I am sorry.''
But when I looked into her eyes,
I saw lack of sincerity.
I told my wife,
''Hey, you can't lie to me.''


Now I ask myself,
Why everyone needs to lie?
It's the lie that I hate,
It's that lie that I don't want it,
It's the lie that I can't forgive,
And it's a lie that I can't forget.


After all, a lie is a lie.

Hello! Thank you because you wrote this poem, A Lie.Not it only reveals the nature of the people, but it also reminds all of us that telling a lie, even the kind that we often call ''White Lie'', cannot be hidden, am I right? So, I like it.

Maybe they do it 'cause they know you'll one day want them to lie for you too. They are like conmen. They'll have evidence to bribe you with. You've got to keep up your standards so you'll never need that to happen. Ironically, the liars won't be able to trust you. PS. my poem Hardenedarsiscism has been condensed.

I believe what you say is most sincer. I find that deception seems to find ways to creep in many places. However, I do think you could find a way to forgive.

whatever way they call it, a lie is still a lie and no one can change it. lies, similar to betrayal this poem should be read by all.
