Allegations, Denials, And Apologies Poem by Hebert Logerie

These days we hear all types of allegations
Sexual, consensual, verbal, and physical
Many of them can be proven, they're atypical
The rest of them are ordinary inventions.

Words are powerful, they're like machine guns
False accusations are nightmares with lips and buns
Once you're tagged, you're history, you just lost
Everything under the sun, your livelihood, and your post.

People lie for no reasons; people lie for the heck of it
Some people will deny: lies, truths and none of the above
Some people will apologize for no reasons; they're in love
And other people are victims of circumstances; that's it.

Allegations can be vindictive, jealous, petty, and unfounded
It is like being knockdown cold. It is like drive-by shootings
The surprises, the shocks, the nerves, the anger, and the stings
That cripple the mind! Liars are devils who deserve to be executed.
