Sooner or later an untruth will fail.
Tripping and stumbling o’er its own feet.
Any good purpose which we may have had
Lying and falsity will surely defeat.
We cannot create a tangle of words,
Leaving impressions which may be quite blurry.
For light pierces through, exposing the truth,
And then there is reason to hide and to worry.
There is no way to untangle a lie
Except to admit that it just isn’t true.
It may be hard to always speak truth,
But truth won’t leave shadows which flashback on you.
“Truthful lips shall be established for ever, but a
lying tongue is (credited) but for a moment.”
Proverbs 12:19 Amplified Bible
