truth and lies
In the realm where shadows dance with light,
Where truth and lies engage in endless fight,
A tapestry woven with deceit's thread,
By tongues of silver, and hearts misled.

Behold the stage where players tread,
In masks of honor or falsehoods spread,
A sonnet penned in shadows' guise,
Where verity fades, and deceit belies.

With quill in hand and words so deft,
Shakespearean verse, where hearts are left,
To ponder tales of truth's disguise,
Where honesty gleams, yet falsehood flies.

Oh, the irony of truth and lies,
In love's embrace or friendship's ties,
For in the bard's immortal verse,
The human soul's eternal curse.

So let us heed with caution's plea,
The masquerade of reality,
For in the world where falsehoods roam,
'Tis truth alone that leads us home.
