Numbers Poem by Artemis J Jones

Numbers

When you lie about numbers, do they lie for you?
You can lie about numbers, but numbers will never lie about you.

When you lie to yourself, does your lie, set you free?
You can lie to yourself, but your feelings, will never lie for you.

When you lie about numbers, will those numbers, tell lies about you?
You can place your ego on high, and lie, and let life strike the number for you.

When you lie about numbers, does your lie, die, with you?
You can place yourself, in numbers, and lie, and lie, but numbers will never lie about you.
