Truth and Lies

by Chords of Truth

Truth is a concept
that requires immense faith
in what we think we know to be true
Most evidence is subjective
And dependent on our view

But statements declared
Should be what we have learned
It`s the intent that determines
Whether honesty is concerned

Truth and Lies are never the same
They cannot coexist
Word to the wise
this should need no reprise
Don`t let lies persist

There are timeswe feel
the appropriate choice is to proclaim
what we know to be false

We justify this
by convincing ourselves
It`s better for us all

Deception can lead
To a treacherous existence
It just makes sense to protect
Remains of innocence

Truth and Lies are never the same
They cannot coexist
Word to the wise
this should need no reprise
Don`t let lies persist
