Living Lying

If all liars are the same, if all lies merit shame,
don’t we all take the blame?

Bare-faced and flagrant or veiled and in secret,
which lies are worse?

Isn’t intention the mother of invention?
Doesn’t cowardice feed artifice?

Not all lies are told by the sly of wit,
or the wilfully wicked

Daily doses: delusion and hypocrisy
hallucinogens given out free

We all take it, give it and make it
but won’t dare admit it.
