EVERYONE CAN LIE

From the young to the old.
From those who are not that bold,
And shiver to speak as if with cold.

To those who talk without fear,
And those who shed all sort of crocodile tears.
Don’t be deceived, everyone can lie.

From those who claim to love,
Yet cannot even sacrifice what they have.

From those with innocent looks.
To the annoying ones with weird looks.

From those as fat as an inflated balloon,
To those as slim as the half moon.

From the gentle jacks who stand tall,
To those who crawl or don’t walk at all.

Even those behind the pulpit,
Narrate the scriptures into fibs,
False doctrines being bathed on their culprits.
Yet they still bless with their holy lips.
Don’t be deceived, everyone can lie.

From those who are married,
To those who are single and unmarried.

Everyone lies about one thing or another,
Just to impress or maintain the other.

To those who are in power,
And those seeking it however.

Present lies through propaganda notes,
Just to secure some electoral votes.
So don’t be deceived, everyone can lie

For those who are hungry,
Manipulate lies to be filled.
And those who are filled,
Fabricate the truth to get thrilled.

From the beloved and highly favoured,
To the foe and those merely hated.

None can forever be honest,
Especially when put to a solicit test,
For lies is ever accustomed in our society,
And technology has even made it a normality.

So Just ask where have you gotten to,
And the answer will be “I just drove passed the zoo”,
Meanwhile he or she is at home,
Now dressing up and busily looking for comb.

Don’t be deceived, everyone can lie.

People hide their right entity,
To impress the inquisitive society,
By presenting false identity.

The truth sometimes seem bitter,
So we perceive the bitters as lies,
And the sweet as truth.

But to my poem alone,
Am sure is not a lie,
That everyone can lie.
