Luscious Lies


Open wide say: “ah” to a heap full

tablespoon of sugarcoated bullshit.

With many so eager to try for the spot

they lurk around to stir the shit pot

and lick the spoon of why not!

 

It’s funny how a tool

can actually drool

at the idea of making a fool

out of people he uses as a pool.

Who knew liars can come off so cool?

 

Lies come from lips both plain

and adorned bringing pain

that will remain

long after one man’s gain.

Leaving another victim to disdain!

 

People prefer those who lie

over those who don’t try.

See those who lie

never get to cry

But those who never try

are always left like fry.

 

Some people only have lies

to present themselves

whether in half truths,

silence, or personal spice

All are perversions of truths.

 

Lies are born on lips

Undoing all the goodness

Some do via sugar and spice

Called for by malicious hearts

Iterated by self centered souls

Omniscient of another’s bounty

Unattended by its unsuspecting victims

Shattered by illusions spun in dark minds.

CNQT

Poetry is a form of passionate expression kindled by an impression unbound by public conviction. I write mainly from two genres : impressionism and symbolism. Choose me or leave me, I'm not a backup plan and definitely not a second choice! Not everyone likes me but then again not everyone matters. What matters is peace and the feeling of being content. Every person is a book, this is just the place to share some pages from my book. Peace!
