The Father Of Lies

What is the root of all life’s lies;
who gave deception its birth?
Why must truth hide in disguise;
when, truth has infinite worth?

Lies were born in the garden of birth;
all of them came from pride;
the prodigals were exiled to earth;
rebellion had cast them aside.

Those accepting the serpent’s lies;
were deemed unworthy of truth;
willingly becoming the devil’s allies;
ignoring the Master’s proof.

Heaven is a realm of truth and perfection;
thought takes the place of speech;
a dishonest thought, faces rejection;;
and lies have zero outreach.

Earth is the devil’s kingdom of lies;
truth is rarely a factor;
nothing that happens can be a surprise;
no living happily thereafter.

Earth is a realm where man gets his way;
a prodigal can rise to become king;
where evil is usually found on display;
a living picture of what lies bring.

Evil will continue to make earth his nest;
for, the earth belongs to him, alone;
deception is the serpent’s living bequest;
those who love truth must go home.
