I was so upset at my friend! Her indirect response to a very direct request; her not inviting me to a party with our friends. It was really bad timing to not meet my expectations! Yet it seemed I was unreasonably upset and her behavior was unlike any I had known from her before. Something wasn’t right. Then I knew who to blame for my skewed perception and wrecking my thoughts…
Liar of Lies
Stupid Liar, only lies
twisting truths before your eyes
White is black and light is night
friends are foes, wrong is right
His favorite game? Obscure the Real
makes you play by how you feel
His win is always when you lose…
your cool, your anger…when you choose
to take your turn believing lies
instead of keeping steady eyes
on Truthful Word, never disguised
The truth is that the Liar lies
urging us to act unwise
not in wisdom from above
certainly not out of love
With focused sight on things below
he thinks to God we will not go
With spark he kindles angers flame
as we scorch those who aren’t to blame
He smugly hovers in our fire
his pride takes credit as The Liar
of lying games he’ll never tire
