TO TELL THE TRUTH 

 
We were told as kids to tell the truth
and to always try to be honest.
 
This was the message we heard
from the nuns and from our parents.
 
So what happened in these last 5 years –
or has there always been the lie?
 
And how do lies change our brains - as
well as to the brains of those who lie?
 
Will all these lies land we know not where
like all those arrows we shot into the air?
