White Lie (Free verse) by ErgoErgun
Exposition on the exposed only satisfies those who know
that life forces each to grow and stow
away the lies that make us vulnerable.
That's why the naked can walk in comfort,
comforted by the illusionary walls of their nudist colonies.
That's why one can die in ignorance,
bound by relative truths and false bliss.
That's why I can peer into absolute darkness,
and come away with truth.
You see, I'm one of the few who know not to know
that lies are a quick fix
and Hell can exist on earth if you solely believe in Heaven.
