Fields Deadly Sin no.2:Dishonesty

by Twan - Aries

do i swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth??
no i don't
because even while you ask me that, you know i won't
i'll lie and tell you you look good
when we both know you look like crap
and you'll tell me i am just right
which will earn you a slap
and the dishonesty comes in waves
they'll own up to it as long as it doesn't cost them money
that's politics for you
gradually they are falling away from me
i bow down before the one i serve
but dishonesty gets me what i deserve
nothings going to change
from the ditchdiggers to the billionaires to the president
we all are dishonest.
so goes it
begins the cycle all over again.
