A Scrumptious Lie...
~~Performance Poetry~~
Folks are hungry for truth... May I tell you a secret?
I have an increasingly-extinct superpower... I'm allergic to lies...
The bigger the lie, the sicker I get... Even white ones make me itch...
Sadly, many have embraced deceit and candy-coated lies by accepting a poisonous slice of the Devil's pie...ย Mmmm... what a scrumptious soul tie!
They hastily and heartily gobble it all down....Willingly taking directions from a selfish clown...
But there's money to be made... no time to live, right... They're more focused on living it up with all of their might...
Eventually, Karma's mama, named: 'Miss You Reap What You Sow', will inevitably knock on every 'Little Bad Wolf's' door...
And then Integrity, Righteousness, and Good will rule once more.
***Hi All: I am technically still on a Vocal writing break. I just felt an urgent need to release this message... Have a gorgeous 2024 Everyone!!!!๐
Love, Tiffa G.

Dead and Wearing Green
She was wearing that green dress when I first saw her, five years ago to the day. Flowing meadow fabric draped over long legs, thick auburn hair flowing down her back. That smile. Of course, she is still beautiful now. But now she is no longer alive.

Brilliant. It has to be like that. Justice should prevail. Lies should be exposed.
nice to read
Wow, I absolutely love this! POWERFUL!
Absolutely wonderful!! I smiled all the way through this!
The truth is always the best policy. So I have to admit I was lured by that delicious looking pie first and I found a more juicy and delightful read. ๐ท๐ธ๐
Lies are trust-eroding. Lesser the better.
