It went something like this

Poetic Dan

I thought I was truthful before
Now I feel it to my core
Ask me anything
No Lie I'll be uttering

 

There may be a slight pause
As I absorb my own answer

 

You will do the same after
With love, hate or laughter

 

This ability in a question
To change me or you
All when responded
Giving our inner truth

 

As we'll both get better reception
In making a peaceful connection

    Wonderful true write, if you always tell the truth you need not have any problems remembering which lies went where.

    • Poetic Dan

      I nearly used that quote but like your twist.
      Always appreciated my friend

      A good write Dan. Also, we got to remember to continue the lie if we start it, and pressurise ourselves doing that, to maintain the false statements.

      • Poetic Dan

        Yet so easy to do it, or is it 😉

      • Nicholas Browning

        Much respect, Dan.
        Wonderful message.

        • Poetic Dan

          Respect returned my good sir! Have a wonderful day

          So easy to do or is it?
          You are right Dan, we do need to pause to be truthful because we spend so much of our days programmed and we don’t even realise the lie.

          Unless we pause.

          Apparently the biggest form or lying is omission. It is also the easiest I guess. Saying Nothing. Speaks.

          I envy anyone with the courage to live a true honest life.

          • Poetic Dan

            No need to envy just jump on board and say f* it to all. You ain't no tin woman, you is a lioness with a pride that can not shift. Unless you want it to Anyway!

            • sylviasearcher

              Oh if I said all the things that popped into my head Dan I’d be in trouble before you could say ‘it went something like this’

              even when one is tongue tied.. when one wants to spit it out... often words on a page more than compensate... in fact, that is bollocks... they invariably do...... Neville 🙂

                You can't hold back the truth!

                • Neville

                  no of course not..

                • Mil57Man

                  Wonderfully done Poetic Dan the truth will always stand. A lie slides out your mouth and skips through your hands.

                  • Poetic Dan

                    That one I'll keep, with my grains of sand
                    Heating it all up with ever stride or stance
                    Till I become lucidly echoing my past

                    Thanks for the inspiration, hope I am listening 😉
