This poem was written over 10 years ago so it has nothing to do personally with Trump lies, Congress lies, government lies or Fox News lies… but hey… if the shoe fits… Seeing the truth is sometimes just a matter of perspective. Beware of the liar.
It is a global phenomenon - One were warned repeatedly about but at the time it had to be disguised as fiction ...or it would never have made it to the printers lair.
this is excellent, there are so many people and groups of people that this describes to a tee, polititions and reporters among them.
very well written, thank you for sharing it.

WOW!!!!! This is awesome. You have obviously been around shallow liars. I don't think there is any other poem about Liars that could come close to this. PERFECTION. Thank you.

..very well written..loved the last two lines which sum up the poem ,I think!!
Oh, how I completly agree with you! The liars are in office again. Are people blind to the lies and promises? We should be scared of this liar and all the people who have fallen for his svengali lies. I expressed my feelings when I wrote a poem called "The Black Wreath" after the election votes were in. A very sad day for America!
Sounds as if you are speaking directly to a politician to me. Who can we trust with their lies? Is nothing sacred anymore? Are morals down the drain of politics? Seems to be everywhere and no one seems to care either. Excellent poetry here.
Hey Michael...I like your poem, Dude, and I really like the pic! Very nice! The main reason I wanted to read your poem is because I have written a poem called "The Liar" also. Poems about liars are always short, because exposing them only takes a few words of truth. Also, the poet most likely wrote it because "The Liar" had touched the author's life.
The picture totally him,portrayed well! I am afraid he is here to stay for awhile.
For you:Michael
Your Liar’s, Liar
There is truth in what you write,
The liar is a parasite.
I ask the question is it me?
Or just self, being set free.
Narcissistic is your Liar,
Shame on him, his tongue of fire!
Psychopaths created play,
In this world they will stay.
Liar charmed through a sociopath,
They lack remorse, on their victim’s backs.
Liar, Liar, no pants on fire,
Today his play involves desire.
Perhaps 'Liar' reflects the societies we live amongst now. We were brought up always to be truthful...Our political leaders (I am from the UK) say one thing and then do the other...Not very good role models for our youngsters...

I like this - it speaks to modern politics and those politicians who dwell in the sewers (amongst others). it's the sort of material we should present to children constantly to show them that there is another way and that the corruption we see all around us is to be rejected not embraced. For we really do have to fight to build a new culture of honesty from the ruins created by the liars. Well done mate.
YES!!!! I just wrote a poem about the same thing - media - the tyrants of the ages. The liars, stalkers and deceivers. Their reign is soon over. Loved this, loved this LOVED T H I S!!!!

They show up in all forms and and they reside in most unsuspecting places...even where truth abides....LIAR'S Awesome work!!!
Excellent poem about a subject which makes most people run from those who holds such a talent...
A really good liar will not even tell themselves the truth... this way they don't have to 'feel the pain' of their own handy work. Besides, most liars fall into the category of Narcissism.

This is awesome! It is a sad truth... The hardest part about loving a liar? By the time you find out they didn't care and felt no pain, your heart has been crushed. I recently went through this and felt every minute of it... but she didn't.
Very clear message, Michael.....why do people lie?

Well written and cleverly conveyed. I love the way the poem pours forth, honestly and freely. The best line in my view is the last. Excellent question.

from the tongue of a liar, captures no truth....great capture write...
God, this is so true. How can anyone stand there, look you dead straight in the eyes and lie to someone, especially if it's to someone they claim they love. My dad always told me though, don't lie, for one, you have to come up with another lie to cover that one, and so on, then you forget, what you told, and more important who you told them to. Tell the truth and and you have nothing to worry about. Lies, what most people do not realize, even though they think they're good for the moment, do come back and bite you in the ass, and then you have lost face, unless of course, your circle are liars, and that's just they way they think they should live life.
Liars are the worst, and even when they are caught, why does it seem they have to come up with another lie for the reason they lied in the first place. Too bad it's not a crime when you catch and can prove someone lied, but I guess it does work out in the end when they are caught, for now they no longer have the trust they thought they had, not amongest the liars they hang around with. What's the old sayind, honor among thieves, but when it comes down to the truth,,,,great posts, and all liars do have a special place as well as lost a good many friends because of their lies.
You've described the liar well, and there are many of them out there in this world. When I was growing up my daddy always told me that my word was my honor. If I told someone I would do something I'd do it at all costs just so I could keep my word.
Reading "The Liar" brings to mind my many years of courtroom background where we learn what is taught in law school: "Eyewitness testimony is the least reliable evidence of all," where the only difference between a mistake and a lie is intent.
And as we've all learned years ago, "The road to hell is paved with good intent."
If I had more amibition, I'd commit this poem to memory. I won't. But I will put it in my Memory File.
Final word: No man hates a liar as much as a lied-to woman!

I like the way this flows. Can one lie to one's self? Lying can be a vice or a vise, depending on one's level of expertise.
You bend the facts for your own gain. How is it you feel no pain/ There's so much truth in this statement that is so about our society today. What could we do to change it? Living the truth ourselves as Jesus did. It can hurt to be a truthful person but for the long haul it will pay off. Honesty is still the best policy. lil flower
Fool me once shame on you.
Fool me twice shame on me.
But with "the few" on the rise
And "the many" in decline
Your timely liar warning
Comes just in time.
Michael,
This poem is quite true,and more often than not,a lie about a particular matter is heard many times before the truth of the matter comes out.
Much success

Wonderful poem. I have no use for a liar. Lie to me once and it's adieu. Liars get so use to their game that most of the time they believe themselves. So sad for the unwary victims.
Very much Truth in this poem, Michael...coming from a man of integrity yourself, this poem looks really good on this page...an honest representation. Thank you for this...be well always, Michael...Blessed Be.
Perfection! Michael I love how you portray the liar, yet show that in the end, it all results in failure, for we can only be fooled for a time before we learn the truth.
