A Beautifully Crafted Lie

PART THREE

Be careful, for things are seldom what they seem.

Not in waking hours,

Nor in a dream.

They reward wickedness with cruelty,

And kindness with grace.

Though they do not lie,

They won’t tell what’s true to your face.

Of all the things to believe,

Believe this to be true,

If you offend them,

They will be coming for you.
