Truth VS Lie

Honesty is the best policy:
But; Sometimes;
A lie will draw a nice smile
That lasts a little longer
Then
A tear drawn by the truth
That will grow much farther.

A lie is easier to sell and tell,
But it will always
Stab you in the back
The truth is rough and tough
But it will always
Keep you on the track.

The truth will draw
Tears of blood;
The lie will draw
A Love filled flood.

The truth
Nipped in a bud;
Is better
than-
The lie
Drowning in mud.

Know in the end
Truth is a friend;
Where Instead-
Lies will bust
The bond of trust.

And a lie, will strike
As the enemy’s might;
Where Instead-
Truth will spear
The enemy’s cheer.

Truth or Lie - 

You decide!
In which one rests your pride?
In a corner you cannot cry or hide!
And in who will you later turn to confide?

Don’t let the lie be your guide
Take the truth into your stride.

Oh such a magnificient piece of an examination of the heart and at the same time a lovely piece of art. I for one if asked will pick the truth every time; at times it is said to be kinder to tell what is called a "White lie." To lift up another when they most need to lifted; the white lie is said to be innocent, but this piece of your spirit found in these wonderful words causes me to examine even the "Little White Lies" which are said to spare a person's feelings. Thought provoking and beautiful examination!

Truth or lies hmm well I have to say i prefer truth though it often hurts.The lament of the soul at the lie is proof enough
False love seeks not to please;
laughing at another in delight.
Joys in an-others loss of ease.
Creating Hell in Heavens respite!

True love seeks not itself to please.
While for itself has not a care.
But to another gives it's ease.
Creating Heaven in Hell's despair.

That's graphic ! It's like reading newspaper , with many rubrics , and the question remains , what is true and what is not .

The overall composition of this , shines beautifully the wise truth . I loved this

I really enjoyed this poem and the insight within. A superbly crafted piece; the comparisons and contrasts work well to grab and hold the reader's attention.
