Lie-ability

Lie-ability
© N Noël July 2010


Lie-ability is someone no one needs
Hiding, seeking, faking, taking
Always ready to feed
Rules don’t ever apply to you
Snatch and grab, steal a soul or two

Coveting things, time and people
Immediate gratification
That works for you
A bandit of the heart and psyche
No friendship to gain
Their job, plain sight battery
Inflicting acid rain

Picturesque in person
Yet tarnished skin deep
Usurping, never nourishing
With one eye open
While others sleep

Lie-ability airy diction
From a feathery tongue
Aftermath left behind
Venom, toxic from your stinger
Phonics all unsung

Slithering snake with suspicious eyes
Fixated from inception
On whom they will prey
Staying just long enough to get their pay
Lie-ability leaves nothing in their path
Just aftershock and destruction
Never looking back

Lie-ability bankrupt of personality
Bleeding others dry
Selfish, self-centered, obsessive
An embodiment of lies
Impoverishment is the trail of tears
You leave by the wayside
The going rate?
Cheapening someone’s pride

Weighted down contraband
Smuggling to achieve sound ties
Lie-ability empty handed
Until all is spent
Don’t be fooled by this convict
Disguised as an undercover friend
