Pants on Fire

*points*

By BrenPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

i tend to talk a lot of malarkey

and i tell a lot of lies

so if my stories conflict in any way

try and act surprised

if you think that just for a second

that any of this is real

imagine then and consider carefully

how you think i feel

if one thing is true and the other isn't

does that upset your cart?

and the objective of my perspective

is simply and deceptively blown apart

i can hide the lie in the truth

i can hide the truth in a word

i can reverse it and i can inverse it

so it's the lie you saw and heard

i twist and shape

i push mold and fold

it's presented so neatly

you don't know what you've been told

i deflect my inflections obfuscate my intentions

hiding all in plain sight and view

it's not my intent to give in or relent

that's... entirely... up to you!

    Don't all of us, artists, mix truth with fiction?
