morph the truth to fit your own version of reality.

By i tremble

I think  that
 society has
 made us into
 excellent liars.


 While animals have
 natural camoflague,
 humans have tongues
 that echo fraudulence.


Exaggeration is a twisted truth
 I'm quite accustomed to,
and perhaps more comfortable with,
 on a day to day basis
 than the full truth
which has teeth like needles
that prick and prod
 and refuse to stop
 long after they draw blood.
