Ready to pull them out my life, pass the pliers,
Trying to be honest in a land full of liars.
Morals become warped, saw red flags,
Won't be dragged down even if your knife stabs.
Always an afterthought and pushed to one side,
Pointless making plans when all you do is hide.
I'm not stupid but become long in the tooth,
Excuse after excuse but who can't face the truth?

Good write SM.
Cheers!
Clever use of words in this poem the metaphor of pulling a tooth and being long in the tooth come full circle from beginning to end of this poem. Well written
Thank you (:
Some people do lie .. but cannot tell the truth .. and it can affect the other person ( when they are lying to you
Yeah for sure.
Some people have a problem with it and maybe need some help with their lying problem
Some people even lie about serious things ( it’s not right at all
Totally agree.
They do .. these people maybe need therapists or something
Some people think they don’t need help when they do
For me the therapy did nothing, it was all about believing in God.
Lies produced when they don't know they're lying:
Go for it man, go on the attack.
Thanks pal!
Profound exploration of truth amidst this Age of Lies. Enjoyed the depth and rhyme, Elizabeth
Thanks Elizabeth, yes sad times.
