Analysis of Given Rights To Defend Their Wrongs



When people are revealed,
To be habitually deceiving.
And will lie about anything,
With the utmost skill.
Does this matter and to who.
What their religious,
Or political affiliation is?
To know?
Them for who they are to be.
As more endorse and support,
Their false presented qualities.
And become defended by those,
Who also see themselves...
Imperfect human beings.
Giving their endorsement to someone else.
Unable to come to admit,
Lies to tell them told...
Is much better than facing,
A truth to live it kept to fiction and delude.

'Tell me,
Have you ever lived the truth.
To accept it as is to live it?'

'Yes.
Once I did.
And discovered the pain of doing it,
Unbearable to feel.
So I refused that kind of reality,
In my life to expect that anyone else...
Had the authority to pass judgement on me.'

'Even if what you continue to do is wrong?'

'That is your opinion.
And we all have them.
Correct?'
