It's hard enough to hear the truth, <br />it is hard enough to tell the truth, <br />most folks just can't handle it, <br />straight on! <br /> <br />Lying is somehow easier, <br />the short run, tends to work for some, <br />the price that must be paid, <br />is worse though, over - all. <br /> <br />Credibility gets caught, <br />the probability is great, <br />that nobody ever trusts you, <br />anymore. <br /> <br />Lies only worked for me, <br />until I turned Thirteen, <br />at Fourteen, I learned better, <br />that it wasn't going to work. <br /> <br />At Thirty, you still think it works, <br />it does... a day or two, <br />'till you're found out, and no one says it, <br />of course, everybody knows it, <br />BUT, who is the real fool!<br /><br />Barry Van Allen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/foolishness-2/
