The Sin of a Lie

A Poem Written by Vivian Ennis 02/09/1999

The truth is what I sought
and everyday I always fought
to find truth in everything that I did
and watched all others as the truth they hid

I walked around every day
trying to find my heart and try to pray
Prayers for those around me so
that they would know truth was the way to go

But as I thought I had stumbled upon
a place of truth that I could belong
I realized it was another lie
and wondered why I continued to try

How could I believe in anything as real
because the lies I heard would always steal
taking away the honesty
the only thing that could set us free

I felt the truth could never happen
so I began to form a wall as a weapon
I felt this would protect me from the cold
and all the lies they were to be told

I wanted to feel safe within
and not be affected by another person’s sin
the sin of lies that they tell
that puts us all in the liar’s hell
