A GIFT
Expect people to lie, then your lack of trust
But motivates what you expect.
Though some disappoint to do what they must,
Choosing dishonesty as a thing to reject.
Most folk seem to lie, for truth is by fear
Of punishment made much aloof.
Also by pride when doubts do appear
In a faith that offers no proof.
Yet I, in my way, could not ever deceive,
This is a very strong principle in me.
I know by some host when lies I receive
For through falseness I am able to see.
It is a gift that I have that few will perceive;
But then liars, I grant, disagree.
