Day in and day out
Many a lie is told
Some laced with deceit
Others in defense they hold
It might be a crook
Seeking to gain undeserved trust
But sealed within his reputation
Is many streaks of rust
If asked a question
Too personal for the truth
And no one’s business
Give a defensive untruth
As the lie unfolds
It may grow in size
One lie defends another
A snowball of lies
No matter the reason
In the end we’re all judged
By the truth within our hearts
And our life as it was
