The Rightly Candid A Liar Deplores Poem by Mark Heathcote

Peeling back caustic onion layers
Lies conspire to outwit the liar.
It is then our empathies tire
Tire of teary crocodile-behaviours.
From feathers a fiery Phoenix
Rises anew, unencumbered
Lives put to ashes if discovered;
Liars they aren't defeatists
Their cares are quite predominant
You'll hear the words, "honest" I swear
To any broken web, that's laid-bare.
Some deceivers turn arsonist
True sociopaths picking their pawns
Each drama; playing the lead role
Desires checkmate, total control
The rightly candid a liar deplores.
