By so called reputable people we so often are misled <br />And one lie leads to another lie as we often have heard said <br />And to cover up for one lie another lie you must tell <br />'Tis a thorny path to heaven but an easy path to hell. <br /> <br />One lie leads to another lie that always is the case <br />Your first lie for deception and your second to save face <br />And when you are faced with the truth the truth you will deny <br />And to lie to you comes easy so you tell another lie. <br /> <br />One lie leads to another lie if what you say is untrue <br />Then another lie you must tell and your lies won't stop at two <br />But the truth of guilt will free you though the truth can be hard to speak <br />And to lie is always easy and 'tis easy to be weak. <br /> <br />Look at ex President Bill Clinton to millions of people he lied <br />When his affair with Monica Lewinsky in public he denied <br />Had he told the truth in the first place of guilt he would have set himself free <br />But he took for him the easy option and he lied quite easily. <br /> <br />One lie leads to another lie and to more lies that will lead <br />And to cover for the lies you've already told a good memory you need <br />And though the truth at times is hard to speak the truth will serve you best <br />For the truth will always ring true in a lie detector test.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/one-lie-leads-to-another-lie/
