The Subtle Difference Poem by Jim Yerman

When it comes to honesty and integrity
there is a simple reason why
we need to understand the subtle difference
between telling a truth…and telling a lie.

When we tell the truth to someone
as we look them in the eye
we know we're telling them the truth
even if they believe it to be a lie.

And when we tell a lie to someone
as we look them in the eye
even if they believe it to be the truth
we know it is a lie.
