Caught in a web of lies –
The more you spin
The bigger the mesh grows
Until you are suffocated
And strangled in its throes
To cover just one lie
You have to tell many more
And like the rotten apple
This spoils you to the core
The truth always surfaces
However much you hide
Then you will feel ashamed
And wonder why you lied..
It’s wiser to tell the truth
And fairly play the game
For then you have no cause
To feel the guilt or shame
Lies are like pyramids
They rise up very high
So I am sure you will agree
That the truth can set you free
You can walk with head held high
If your path is just and right
For if your conscience is clear
You won’t cower with fright
So don’t resort to lies
If you are smart and wise
Then you will see how quickly
In stature you will rise

i agree that all those who trustt us, will stop believing in us, and one day, will surely leave us, if we keep spinning yarns
