Liar
As kids,
one of the dreadful moments
is when our parents gaze
on report card bearing grades
Greatest lie told to us
"come here I won't beat you"
"wake up it's 8'o clock"
"2 minutes maggie would be ready"

But in Adulthood
the fear of this lie evolve
"Friends forever"
"We are just friends"
"Money can't buy happiness"

But the most uttered falsehood,
A masterpiece of veiled pain,
"I'm fine," the mantra,
Shielding fragile souls from prying eyes.
Now a lie in your speech
