Lies Bring Armagedon

I liked this Yazmin. It made me think how I would have phrased it. In the end I couldn't match yours - but here is my effort: Lying gets you nowhere It’s simple and it’s true The only one you’re fooling With your lies is really - You. No point in trying to lie to God For He can read your heart God knows your intentions... When and why the lies will start. The Devil thrives on stupid lies From the lips of careless fools Who only care about themselves and have no time for rules. You cannot hide behind your lies They wisp around like smoke Revealing that you hid the truth Or claimed it was a joke. So I give you this Fair warning If, from the truth, you turn away There will come a morning When your soul will have to pay.

Don't underestimate your work, Jaz. My poem is essentially yours but with slightly better punctuation :O) What counts for me is the feelings that words engender. Philosophers can waste our time with their useless debates and scientists can mystify us with their dubious mechanical marvels but artists can talk directly to the heart and help us realise that many of the paths we tread are leading us in the wrong direction. God bless!
