beware lie habit innocent lies
even lies gross lies heinous lies
become the only truth if believed
justice rarely rules the world
cruel lies jealous lies hate lies
lies dirty can shatter cut turn truth to litter
lies can steal honour a name self esteem freedom
lies can pierce stake pure hearts; victims to trash mouths;
who will join us as a voice of truth reject the lies

I would like to translate this poem
Lies if become habitual will be embedded in one's personality or being. Truth must always be uphold despite adverse consequences. A very discerning poem well expressed.
