Every Liar
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
She’s very good at storytelling;
Not so good with the truth.
She learned to feed her fantasies,
While she was still a youth.
She takes the truth and twists it;
Breaking branches strips its fruit.
She can’t perceive her error.
But His judgment is absolute!
God hates every liar!
So, she needs to change her ways.
Or in the lake of fire,
Is where she’ll spend her final days.
Forever!
