I make myself stay busy

"What a tangled web we weave
when we practice to deceive."
Someone said that long ago.
I'll tell you, right now, what I know.

It means that when you tell a lie
soon you'll tell many more.
You'll have to, just to cover up
the lie you told before.


I make myself stay busy
getting good things done
that I don't have to lie about,
not a single one.
