Lies Poems
Cogs in the Mechanism of Evil
by Igor Vykhovanets
Winter
"Love is the chief means of escape from the loneliness which afflicts most men and women throughout the greater part of their lives."
— Bertrand Russell
To escape: the void within devours the soul,
In pleasures, in wealth, in love cold and constrained.
For love, fleeting warmth, cannot make one whole,
It stirs frozen blood, but leaves hearts chained.

71. Dear Neighbor
by Kea Campbell
My ears are jaded from the words you put on the street,
And your petulance is exhausting to the candid you mistreat.
My feet hurt from egg shells and your mouth litters hypocracy,
And you deprive yourself of righteous validity by taking pride in fallacious exalting.
You drain life from good people and are a thief of their vitality,
And you pursue an egocentric facade and wed a victim's mentality.
I don't seek a good name, nor do I value a worldly reputation,
But you deceive your circles with yellow journalism and I averse exploitative falsism.

Matilda Who Told Lies, And Was Burned To Death
by Hilaire Belloc
Matilda told such Dreadful Lies,
It made one Gasp and Stretch one's Eyes;
Her Aunt, who, from her Earliest Youth,
Had kept a Strict Regard for Truth,
Attempted to Believe Matilda:
The effort very nearly killed her,
And would have done so, had not She
Discovered this Infirmity.
For once, towards the Close of Day,
Matilda, growing tired of play,

Broken Promises
by Jeffrey Pipes Guice
What happened to us...
My dear sweet girl...
You wanted a ring...
With a diamond and pearl...
You said you always...
Wanted to be my wife...
That you would love us...
Now and throughout our life...

Truth And Lies
by Arshia Sheikh
When truth wins over the lies ,
It gives meaning to my life,
When trust on me was more and fear has no space,
I am the one who stood for ace .
I fight my battle with confidence and pride,
It is just because , my loved ones are on my side .
Winning and losing is not my attitude,
I am a woman who is full of gratitude.
We need to define our characters by showing our choice,
Almighty will judge our intention so there is no need to make noise.

When Man Defies God
by Christen Kuikoua
They tell me I can be whatever I choose
That a man can become a woman,
That flesh can defy the hands of its Maker,
That truth is no longer truth but mere opinion.
Lies! Deception! Blasphemy!
Has the creation risen above the Creator?
Shall the clay rebuke the Potter,
Claiming He has made a mistake?
Oh, foolish generation, drowning in pride,
You shake your fists at heaven,

66. Hold Your Tongue
by Kea Campbell
Temper is temperance, and your tantrum is distasteful.
You are wasteful with words, and your tongue is disgraceful.
Your antagonizing diction may indoctrinate neutral dispositions,
But you're stripped of sacred freedom while you veto His convictions.
My temple is flooding with thoughts— brooding and erosive,
Yet withheld by the virtue of my wisdom and endeavored devotion.

All's Fair in Covert Fuckery
by Frangipani Rhett
Something must be wrong with me
To make me care about a man
Who can't take the time to reply to me
Or simply give a damn
I can only make assumptions
At this point I'm less upset
That he only wanted to fuck me
But too bad for him, I'm not done yet
