Policy of Truth

Policy of Truth

You would always guess,

Or sense my deviousness at work,

So I shall not tell again,

No more I'll use the lie.

Destroyed in but a moment,

The years of trust we'd built.

A fool by no other name,

Has learned to be this way.

What good can come from blasphemy,

Or the crooked word of mouth ?

I won't carry on this fallacy,

To watch your smile go south.

I've watched that disappointment,

Destroy your crystal blue eyes,

And what acknowledgement did I get,

For spinning you a pack of lies ?

Twill be by my own undoing,

If I kept to this wickedness.

That you would smile for no-one,

And my life unfold into a mess.

Forgive me if your heart desires,

To allow me another chance.

The truth I see so clearly,

As those lies would kill the dance.

Some people say that honesty,

Is really the best policy.

Now I understand with clarity,

Honesty is, the only policy.

If I and others knew it too

No-one would suffer from the truth.

Just watch your lives become a tragedy,

If you'd need more simple proof.
