The lies of life

Larry Lowry 1959 (Pryor)

Free verse
The Lies of Life - we are liars we say things we don't mean. I love you more than life. Then say it again to a different woman. Have sex with a woman and she tells her girlfriends while she tells him how special he was. Promise not to drink to your wife and be falling down drunk by evening. We lie and lie and don't realize who we're hurting. The lies are easy because we don't face life. We lie because you don't want to go to a woman's movie.we lie and lie in life. Who pays for those lies? We do.
