Definition of Lies



Lies are ugly
they wrap around your finger
and then they stick to you like
super glue sticks to wood
cant stop from strangling
you and when they finally
let go look up and beg
for forgiveness for telling the
 unrational lies for which has
been told, but nor is it
simple or easy to gain forgiveness
for the times you have
forbid any truth to come out
so it will follow you to your grave and it does come back
to torture you for all the lies you have told the vine is what comes to mind when you tell old greasy lies and so it wraps around you with a tight grip!
