I want to thank all of the people who have read this (now slightly improved) poem/song, one of my first, and one of my most popular blogs... I wish somebody would put it to music!
She lays beside me,
She inspires my dreams.
Pierces my heart, to
Strive on her behalf.
In the quiet of the night,
She wakes me to the fight.
After so many times,
I shake my head and laugh.
Chorus: Truth she lies, lies, lies!
And her pluck never dies.
A relentless mystery,
When Truth lies to me.
Cause she lies, lies, lies!
She ignores the hows or whys,
A trick I never see,
When Truth, she lies to me.
Truth escapes me,
Then she shakes me.
Hunts down and stirs
My conscience too.
First she haunts me,
Then she taunts me,
Sayin’ “Here ‘tis, now go
Do what you should do.”
Chorus: Truth she lies, lies, lies,
Her theories never fly,
It’s dis illusion ing,
How Truth, she lies to me.
Cause she lies, lies, lies!
She ignores the hows or whys,
Just smiles that sexy smile,
When Truth, she lies to me.
Some men waste their youth
Searching for the truth,
As she whispers the high
Cards in her hand.
“Stand up for what’s right,”
She sings into the night,
All the time knowin’ the
Price of her demands.
Chorus: Truth she lies, lies, lies!
But her charm never dies,
It’s no surprise to me,
When Truth lies you see
Cause she lies, lies, lies!
She ignores the hows or whys,
Her tricks so damn hard to see,
When Truth, she lies to me.
So many times I heard
Her plain and noble words.
Went and spoke the truth
So I could finally sleep.
She promised that I would
Feel really good,
But eventually I knew
That Truth had lied to me!
Chorus: Truth she lies, lies, lies!
Her standards never die,
She sounds so pure
When Truth lies to me.
Truth she lies, how she lies!
True lies for every size,
I hate it every time
When Truth, she lies to me.
Still she comes and comes,
“You’re gonna love this one,”
My wife sighs and turns
And vainly tries to sleep.
“Just walk into the light and
You will rest tonight.”
My mind reels because
I’m under way too deep.
Chorus: Truth she lies, lies, lies!
But her charm never dies,
It’s no surprise to me,
When Truth lies you see.
Cause she lies, lies, lies!
You’ll avoid her if you’re wise,
Yes, Truth hurts you see,
When Truth, she lies to me.
Yes, Truth hurts you see...
When Truth lies down with me...
Truth lies when she lies down
when she lies down when she lies
Said she'd set me free...
Came and lied down with me...
Somebody heeeeelp meeeeeeeeeeee
Editors Note: As best as I can tell, this poem is one of my most visited blogs. Perhaps an average of 8 - 10 hits a day! After watching its activity, I can only beg to find out the nature of the readership... It could have been recommended on some poetry site or whatever.. but it's as if some college professor has made an assignment for his students to critique this poem... or something like that. So I assume its not that you guys love this thing as much as you HAVE to answer about it in some way. So just to test my theory... I'll give twenty bucks AMERICAN to the first Sam Houston University student to contact me by email, to collect the money. No kidding! All I need is a PO box number! 11-21-11

NOTE: Newsflash! I young acquaintance of mine... and a Sam Houston State student, contacted me for the dough. And I was glad to pay since he was on the verge of getting hitched. God bless, Alex, in your new endeavor. And God bless your lady!
