Many things there are which traverse the man,
But there’s one that can break the strongest ties.
It’s not thievery or brutal murder,
But simple lies.
When loved-ones deceive, with a gaze and tongue
-Bringing to rubbles kinships’ candid bond.
The heart neglects love and the mind those it
Considered fond.
Then we know real pity, when with his breath
Sons betray moms, -who took them to manhood-
And lovers break vows – bringing help to none.
There is no good
In a tongue that’s corrupted with venom
That is made in fire, shaped and wielded bent.
Such a soul would never see his way, and
Needs to repent!
