Lies

 Lies are bitter 

Some are sweet

They keep us moving

Give us the will to live.

Tell me good lies

Lies that will make me smile-laugh

Whisper one in my ear

That will make me reach out

For the stars.

Just keep on lying 

Cheerfully 

I will keep on flying.

Who knows,

Maybe there is a place for dreamers

Over those mountains. 

A place where heartache-hardship 

Sound like foreign words.

But,

Until such a place is found.

We will continue to lie

Conceal the truth to our children 

And they,

To their children.

Who knows,

If they believe

They might wake up one day

And realise 

This is it,

This is the one place 

We have been searching for

All along.
