Lies can ruin somebody's life
Lies can cause terrible strife
Lies can cause great pain and harm
Lies can cause great fear and alarm

Lies can kill those so close to you
Not just literally, but in other ways too
Lies can ruin friendships and spark great hate
Old friends hating you is a terrible fate

So don't lie; take the easy way out
It's a straightforward way to avoid others' doubt
Always telling the truth is the right thing to do
So you can have a clean conscience and be regarded as true
