Deception

Listen with those clever ears.

Hear what words do deceive you.

Nothing said these days is pure honesty.

Nothing done is selfless.

So take a minute...

And close your eyes...

Imagine one perfectly honest sentence.

One with no lies.

Can you see the world around you?

Hear the words mixed all in one?

So many lies.

Nothing left holds true.

Even "i love you",

Rings a bell of deception.

There are rarely friendships,

Honest and true.

Rarely love,

That holds fast and pure.

Childhood becomes,

A pit of excuses.

I shadow of doubt.

The world has covered up,

The beauty of honesty.

Therefore has lost it's valued appeal.

So take a day...just one day...

And make everything you say,

Ring out with truth.
No lies..

No deception.

Just plain and simple truth.

    Beautiful write with such an important message. Truth is the most important thing in the world. If people can't be honest to others, I don't know what else they have. Good luck in the contest.
