The Pit Of Lies Poem by Ojeikpo Elijah

pit of lies, how deep and dark you be,
A treacherous trap that countless souls have fell,
Your walls adorned with deceit and duplicity,
A place where truth and trust are forced to dwell.

Innocent hearts are lured into your grasp,
By sweetened words and promises of bliss,
But oh how quickly they crumble and rasp,
As they are consumed by your venomous kiss.

Your depths are endless, a labyrinth of deceit,
Where even the strongest will struggle to survive,
For once they enter, there is no retreat,
And their sanity and virtue, you will deprive.

Pit of Lies, where shadows dance and weave,
A treacherous abyss, where truths deceive,
The Pit of Lies, a realm of dark design,
Where trust is shattered, and hope's light doth wane.

With cunning whispers, deceit's serpent tongue,
Lures unsuspecting souls, their hearts undone,
In labyrinths of falsehood, they blindly roam,
Ensnared by illusions, far from their true home.

But fear not, oh weary traveler of truth,
For in this pit of lies, there is still hope,
Through courage and faith, you can break through,
And rise above, as you learn to cope.

So let us beware of this treacherous place,
And hold on tight to our morals and grace,
For in the end, it is the truth that will prevail,
And the pit of lies, forever shall fail.
