Liar

by E Lloyd Kelly

Then there are liars and God-deny hers, who are now fast becoming testifiers.
 
Swearing on the bible which they are liable, to value less than marketplace flyers.
 
 
Seeking straight answers to their crooked questions.
 
The truth though, they'd skipped, sparsely their conscience pricked, this too they forgot to mention.
 
 
Crooked technicians playing the fools. Makes themselves busy designing tools.
 
Then with just as much vigor, they're making the rules that govern the game for everyone else.
 
While they pile on the glory, wealth, and fame, but only for themselves.
 
 
Boastful dealers and custom stealers all professing to show.
 
Just how much they are savvy and are in the know.
 
While busily manipulating things, the way they want them to go.
 
 
Then there's that someone who gathers all the spoils.
 
Though it was another who had labored, another who'd toiled.
