Quality placed above
Generosity and Empathy
Ourselves and Others
Live with Honesty
Happy within your skin
Mind body and Deed
On a straight line
Benefits accrued in time
In order to please
Words with ease
Spoken in contradiction
Giving wrong Impression
Wide of the mark
Enunciate and Articulate
Birthed by imagination
Creating a situation
Contrary to reality
Fear of the other
Facing their anger
An important trigger
To give an answer
In tune with their tenet
In course of time forget
Not told in full
Continue to fool
Creativity in flow
Half as happened
The other imagined
Conveyed with contradiction
Thoughts jumbled
Words bungled
Events rambled
Honesty lost enroute
Tracing backwards
To the root
Impossible to find the truth
Consistenty in dishonesty
Oneness in Activity
Untruth to everybody
End result a split personality
Memory a necessity
Covering up possibility
Impossible with accuracy
To recreate activity
Feeling right in a wrong
Duality cemented strong
Medicine not discovered
For the truth to be uncovered
Silence as Answer
Given much better
Not required to remember
Better off than a liar
Discovered at last
Others new first
The lie never worked
Price paid lost trust
Web of deceit
Spun around
The Souls Seat
Most ignoble feat
Act and repeat
Instinct or imbibed
Unhappy with self
Escape from the Actual
Becomes habitual
Without realizing
Second nature Conning
Catches up sooner
For self not the rest
Lie fooled no one
Liar fooled the liar
Truth be told
Suicide of Character
Life not lived
Only acted in front
Of a mirror
Actor and Audience
Both the same
Fooling each other
Forever and ever
