*Inspired by
the event(s) that took place (at work) last week…..
You lie
As if it was
TRUTH defined
To hide what
you did or didn’t do
Using lies
as alibis
Even the
Devil would be ashamed of you.
You lie
To hide the
ugliness within your heart
Using lies
as if they were HOLY
How they
easily roll off your tongue
Causing
confusion and illusions
Tearing
people apart.
You lie
Because you
can
Fools only
question your authenticity
Thinking you
are “The Man”
I thought
TRUTH was supposed to set you free
Not you
Your lies
have become your Prison
And TRUTH
has become your Enemy. (An Angela D Becknell orignal poem)
I would be
lying if I sat here and said that I never told a lie. No, I’m not perfect and neither is the rest
of the world. We all have told a lie
whether it was to protect someone, hide something from someone, or just
because. After all, we are only human
and yes, we all fall down. It is not my
job to judge anyone, and I’m not trying to say that I’m a saint. I am just relating a story that happened to me
last week, and yes, it still bothers me.
It bothers me because I don’t go around making a habit out of
lying. And for someone to just take that
away from me, in a blink of an eye, kind of pisses me off (okay, it pisses me
off a lot)…..especially when I know I’m telling the TRUTH.
As you can
guess, I was called a liar. I wasn’t
called that name directly. More or less,
it was implied. You know the story—some he
said/she said s**t. BUT in this case,
she (meaning me) was not the one telling a lie.
I had no reason to lie. There was
nothing to gain (or lose) by lying.
However, the “powers that be” had something to lose by telling the
TRUTH. So by calling me a liar, they had
the false security of thinking that TRUTH would not prevail. They thought that they could get away with
it. THEY WERE SO WRONG……It just escalated into a
big mess, that in the end, went in my favor.
Point is,
why tell a lie when the TRUTH will be revealed?
In the end, the one telling the lie looks stupid and ridiculous. And what does it say about that person when
the Top Boss doesn’t even believe the bull?
All I can do is shake my head while holding my head up high. You didn’t hurt me boo. After all, you just ended up hurting
yourself. So, keep on walking by and
sticking to your lie(s). And I will
continue laughing at you and doing me.
And I will keep standing hand in hand with the TRUTH while you forget
what the TRUTH looks like….SMOOCHES!!!!!
Just Saying,
Niesey
