  Cutting Lies

  Cutting Lies Tell hungry lies To keep the truth at bay Run for cover under false tales Paint over the nasty details Move the goal post so no one comes Within 500 feet of it You change the course of conversation with precision Like a doctor performing surgery You carefully cut away the infection Love…
