'' Where Truth Can be So Hard To Find'

We're taught from childhood we mustn't tell lies,
So it's confusing as to whom this rule applies,
Our teachers should try it out for size,
Though they'd say I'm being unkind.

Before you speak they say take a pause,
Yes there really is a Santa Claus,
Just another lie worthy of applause,
To the box of white lies it's confined

There are Elves and Pixies and Angels galore,
The fact there are Gods you cannot ignore,
A Heaven and Hell and so much more,
Adults are so unrefined.

Economical with the truth is a great excuse,
It's basically a lie made to sound abstruse,
The lying content it's meant to reduce,
It's a deception that's been realigned.

Everything they say we're expected to believe,
Yet it's not what you hear it's what you perceive,
What a terrible web of deceit they weave,
They're the dregs of Humankind.

The simplest questions put them in a rage,
Mum will tell porkies about her age,
Asking Dad his golf score puts him in a rage,
The truth will then be declined.

Their life revolves around all sorts of lying,
When ill they'll make out they are dying,
In knots it's themselves they end up tying,
To untruths our tutors are designed.

World politicians are the pick of the bunch,
A blatant lie was based on a hunch,
Truth is when it comes to the crunch,
It's to lying they are all inclined.

They'll send you to war on a prevarication,
A truly sick abomination,
For that it should be eternal damnation,
To the facts they are totally blind.

Their Lies don't come in white or black,
Either or it's truth they both lack,
From every angle we are under attack,
It's to a life of lying we're resigned.

Adults are hypocrites they tell lies all the time,
Yet they'll say to us it's a victimless crime,
So why is their world filled with dirt and grime.
