Tell me Lies

July 17, 2016

Lies are more valuable today than truth and lies told again and again become a truth that elicits more lies to support the living myth.  Amazing that we are so ready to settle.

Lie​​ to me.

Do not hurt

​​ my heart,

trouble my soul

or challenge my brain

with the truth.

Shower​​ me with​​ 

platitudes

that​​ will​​ make sense

to my view

of living;

that fit​​ 

into​​ the view of

my periscope

so that I can

put together

a life​​ that​​ 

will let me

go on living

in​​ the dream

that I have

even if I am

only living​​ 

the myth​​ I​​ 

have created for

myself.
