I was conceived on lies <br />I grew up and I lied <br />If I want to get out of a situation <br />I would lie <br /> I lied at school <br />I lied to my parents <br />I lied to my friend <br />I lied to my pastor <br />I lied tom y partner <br />I lied to the president <br />I lied to every body <br />Even to God <br />The creator <br />The holy one <br />Lies are what <br />I eat <br />Live <br />Breath <br />Sleep <br />And do <br />My mouth is rotten with lies <br /> I no longer want to lie <br />It is hard speaking the truth <br />John 3 v 32 <br />“Know the truth and the truth will set you free” <br />I’m leaving the life of lies behind <br />I no longer wants to lie <br />I’m born of the truth <br />I shall eat the truth <br />I shall write truth <br />Work for the truth <br />Free myself with the truth <br />Tell people the truth <br />I’m cutting the “maybe” <br />From my mouth <br />My NO! Will be a No! <br />My Yes will be A Yes! <br />Truth! <br />Truth! <br />Truth all the way <br /> <br />Vangile Mtyali<br /><br />Vangile Mtyali<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/truth-be-told-11/
