By Caleb Pellerito

One way of beating the competition
Is lying by omission.
Not too false, not too true
Depends on ones point of view.
Not too wrong, not too right
Not too black, not too white.
Creating a vague gray area
That's bigger than Syria.
Just enough room to be unaccountable
Just enough to render you not impoundable.
A little lie with a little truth
Is more than plenty, forsooth
That's am example of accepting the unacceptable
And strongly encouraging the rejectable.
A little truth with a little lie
But it comes with guilt and a quiet sigh.
