Liar

A Poem by Earl Schumacker
"

The truth and nothing but the truth

"

Liar


I can not tell a lie

That would be a lie

That would be duplicitous

Duplicity is a lie


To be honest

Being honest is a lie

If you are a liar and so inclined

If a lie is a lie can it be the truth


Can it be something else

Like white or some other color

Is white a color or the absence of color

Is a pink lie any less dangerous


What if I told you I was a pink

Is that believable

Liars come in all shapes and sizes

They fit in the pocket next to the sin

Next to the elephant swimming


I have to be honest

I don't own a suit or pocket

That only makes sense

Doesn't it
