Technical Lies...

Word games,
Little harmless fun,
But oh baby,
If only you knew
What you have done…

So every word said,
Now lies dead,
For this truth you held so high,
Was technically a lie-

How sad you found the need,
To make others feel so bad,
Driving them to tears,
Making them so sad…

When all this time you sat,
Smiling in your smug little world,
Hey Congrats!
I now know the rules,
So it’s cool…

I don’t have to tell the truth,
If I seek to soothe,
I can be like you,
Don’t have to be true !

Play that word game,
You seem to play so well-
Telling the technical truth is the same,
As technically telling a lie,
And that honesty you value so high,
Will never die,
Because after all,
It’s technically not a lie!

So,
There’s no reason to know,
Anything you have to say,
It won’t be the truth anyway…

Though technically it’s not a lie,
And it makes the girls cry-
Hey, this is getting fun!
But I gotta run,
Time to say Good-bye,
Cause I am not so good,
At telling those technical lies…

Excellent poem. I love it! Guess that is why I don't have too many friends, by choice, because it is hard to trust.

Reindeer, some people wouldn't know the truth if they tripped over it. Well said, and I take a powder as soon as the mind games start. Well done, excellent poem and great insight.

Georgie, Porgy, puddin' and pie, kissed the girls and made them cry. Technically, it was a lie, ... just a poem.
