It's A Sin To Tell A Lie

It’s a sin to tell a lie, they say, and I believe them

Lie, and you’ll go to hell

Or if you’re lucky, to purgatory, where you’d do nothing but wait

Victims of cruel lies shed oceans of tears,

Endlessly they cry, endlessly they suffer

Yanking their hearts out, they utter

“Oh, look at us! Look closer!” their eyes fixated on heaven

“Undone, unnerved, now unwilling to bend

May the gods pity us

End our miseries, end our distrust

Let their tongues fall from their mouths, and throw it to the fire…”

And I will persist to wonder why people lie

It’s kind of cathartic to tell the truth.
