Behold What Lies

Behold what lies a pen will tell:


That tortured souls are doing well,


Things lost are really a man’s gain,


That broken hearts will somehow mend.


The insincere placate the bold


Mending their wrongs by lies they’ve told.


But worse the lies we tell our brains


To cover self-inflicted pains.

Oh, Wow, Lonny! I'm with Ted.. this is focused, insightful and a most honest rant! You've held up a mirror.. I see so many reflections. Why is it we understand this so well in others', conveniently ignoring it in ourselves? This is a damned fine piece of writing, my dear friend. love, katy xox.

"Behold What Lies" is striking!

I have enjoyed the reading.

I would consider a revision for the closing line. I feel it needs more energy for a closing.

Say Something Terrorible v3 by RickthePoetWarrior

My mom says ‘If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything’. Sorry mom but under the guise of poetic license I penned these beauties.
