There are only
and always
two kinds of lies ...
Ones to deceive
while the others protect
And two kinds of liars
that barter
the truth ...
One kneels in shame
— and one genuflects

I'll take the first Kurt the last I know too well. Nicely written
🙂
Wow, Kurt...this is concise, philosophical, and loaded with tension. The idea that lies can come from radically different motives, yet still require some reckoning with truth, really lands. Powerful piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thanks so much.
