Lies in the Light

Plato once wrote..."We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light."

LIES IN THE LIGHT

Suppose lies were the darkness where no one could see

That facts were killed and buried there

Afraid to move about sure and free

We sit encumbered and unaware

Think about the brightest light

Where truth and lies are easily discovered

It should be easy to choose wrong from right

And reject the fallacies that become uncovered

It takes but a skillful orator

Who lives to keep us mired in the dark

And in the light his lies are covered

By sweetened promises that warm the heart

So in broad daylight he reels us in

While under the cover of darkness he schemes

That we cannot see past it is our only sin

When eventually our nightmares evolve from our dreams

Challenging times and roadblocks bring

People grasping for any hope in sight

We forget about the poisonous sting

Of lies that shower us in the light
