They Lie Poem by Randy McClave

They lie:
The woman who says that she will love you forever
But, then she quickly leaves you for another,
Then out of sadness and confusion from your bride
You wondered why she made those wedding vows, she had lied.
The only woman you can trust, is now your mother.

They lie:
The man who says while holding a sign
That he will work for food, but what he wants is beer or wine,
Then when you offer him a job, he will run and hide
You will feel hurt and used, to you he had lied.
To help others now you will forever resign.

They Lie:
The people who tell you that they need you as a consort
But, they only need and want you only for your help and support,
But, when you need their help they cannot be found
To honor or pride they are not ever bound.
To your belief's and hopes they had fallen short.

They lie:
When the doctors say they will do the best for your health
You are just tired and worried and you have no wealth,
Then your soul looks down upon your body, you had died
You thought they were your salvation, they had lied.
Now you are gone, and your existence has gone stealth.

They Lie:
The politician's who says they will help you for your vote
Then you find out you are just another scapegoat,
But, you still have your honor and also your pride
You will never vote for them again, to you they had lied.
And now they ignore your needs, and at you they gloat.

They Lie:
The liars who know how to use and recruit
With their souls so ugly, but their pretense so believing and cute,
Then when you understand that their dishonesty is their guide
You feel hurt and taken advantage of because they had lied
And it all began when Eve gave Adam that forbidden fruit.

They Lie:
The wealthy who profits off of the needy and or a war
The politicians who plead and cry while hiding behind a locked door,
But, very soon their worlds they will collide
GOD will judge them one and all, knowing they had lied.
And to lie....... They will do that not anymore.
