Who are you to judge the life I live?<br /> I know I&#039;m not perfect<br /> -and I don&#039;t live to be-<br /> but before you start pointing fingers...<br /> make sure you hands are clean!&rdquo; bob marley

I caught you in your deepest lie,
What a convincing story to the ones who failed to see the clues,
But I am still curious about your news,
You fail to realize how much you didn’t make sense,
Did you craft this story to block out the truth like a neighbor’s fence?
I caught you, but don’t stop, resume,
I wonder how long you can lie before I expose you,
I love listening to your stories,
Because I know the truth will bore me,
So I listen to you to reveal the lies,
What a wonderful discovery.

The news that people tell me are sometimes never true, but I listen to them anyway.
