Lies

I tell them so often

sometimes I don't evenrealize

when I'm telling the truth



Lies

I am toldthem so often

sometimes I don't even know

who tobelieve



Lies

because of them

wedoubt

truth

and honesty



Lies

because ofthese

we convict the innocent

and let the guilty runfree



We accept lies for truth

until we find out

thatthey were

lies



But by then

it's toolate
