Why Lie? Poem by George Shadrack Kamanda
Why Lie?
Lies at the start are dismissal
Lies at the end are denials
Lies of the present are worrying
Lies of the past are troubling
So why lie?
Lies in words are challenging
Lies in actions are repressing
Lies for wants are degrading
Lies for gains are window dressing
So why lie?
Lies of the mind are misleading
Lies of the eyes are caressing
Lies against others are transgressing
Lies for the self are distressing. So why lie?
Thanks for such a wonderful poem the subject of which is so common yet so deceitful. Thanks. Lies against others are transgressing Lies for the self are distressing. So why lie?
