Falsehood Poem by Ojeikpo Elijah

Falsehood, a treacherous fiend,
Cloaked in lies, your deceptions seep,
A wildfire that consumed itself,
With every word, a wound unseen.

Falsehood, a tongue that ruin nations,
A Guild of gossip, that siege to Conquered,
You have lay the trust to sleep,
With honeyed words, you deceive,
Leading the world down paths of despair.

Your mask, oh how you artfully weave,
A web of untruths, beyond repair,
Like a serpent, you slither and slide,
Into our hearts, with your cunning guise.

Your deceit, we can never hide,
For it's written in your twisted eyes,
Oh falsehood, you have no shame,
For in your wake, you leave only pain.

But truth shall always be our aim,
And your reign of lies, we shall disdain,
Though you may thrive for a fleeting hour,
In the end, it is truth that holds the power.
