Let Her Lies Be Truth And Then Set Yourself Free
be wise my dear
when she comes back to you and tells you lies
pretend you believe her
and let her tell all her lies again
let her bloat and make the bubbles of soap in the air
and always, always, always, pretend that you like it
swallow her lies like a bait
take everything like hook and sinker
then ask her if she is alright
and happy with her
new found man, this american
who gives her money
and a ticket to her freedom
the citizenship that she badly needs
to free from the bondage
of your marriage
you may even kiss her and wish her luck
and happiness and bliss
you send her away
for good
because, and this you must not tell her,
lie just like her,
you do not love her anymore
and you want her
also to go to hell
(for Dodong Harry
whose wife wants to be relieved
of their marriage because she wants to be married to an American)

A Turtle Thrown Into The River
they come to the house today
mother and son
the father who is so angry merely stays in their house
it is all about his wife filing a petition for annulment
of their 20 year-old marriage
she tells all the lies about his being happy-go-lucky
unmindful of her miseries
his drunkeness his womanizing his having no income at all
and he cries foul
that all these are not true
that he is psychologically incapacitated
the truth is
that he does not love her anymore
that she too is having an affair with an american who is financing the petition for annulment
who is now sleeping with her in their marital bed
i told him as he seeks my advice
admit all her lies and swallow all her false allegations
let her throw you away
as you too would like her to be thrown away to hell
let her throw the turtle with her two hands to the river
and then let her see how the turtle swims and sings to the comforts of its flow
the way they both want their lives to go and be free at last
from their mutual disappointments and hatred

I'd give anything to give me to you
Can you forget the world that you thought you knew

Freedom In Your Marriage?
Is there freedom in your marriage?
Or is there bondage bringing woe
Is there freedom in your marriage?
This is what I'd like to know.
For marriage is two people
Each sharing the others love
Not telling each other how to live
Nor giving each other the shove.
For each is an individual
With free-will to be such;
Giving and receiving in their talents -
However much.
Having freedom to enjoy at times
What each may like to do;
Pleasing each other by attitude
Being happy for each too.
Standing by each other
When outsiders shoot the tongue
No matter what the cost might be
For freedom you're among.
So, is there freedom in your marriage?
I pray there is today,
For only in love's freedom -
Marriage will be for aye!

Marriages are made in Heaven
'Marriages are made in heaven'
so say people in India
a good marriage can your life lengthen
it can be your ultimate good karma.
My marriage was made in hell
Bad karma from beginning to end
Kept me for years in a prison cell
Finally, I don't have to pretend.
My marriage was made in hell
no love or affection, felt like a bad spell
A bad marriage can ruin your life
For so many years, I had no life.
The hell marriage is now over
Promise I won't do it again, ever
I'm finally free from the shackles
Thought I'd be happy, but I see no sparkles.
All I'm left now with is wrinkles
My life's hard and full of struggles
Still, I find my freedom wonderful
And I will soon start feeling worthful.

In His Fishing Expedition
in his fishing expedition
his bait is this bluff
and with gullibility
you take the bait,
swallow the hook, line and sinker
i say
baby you have not yet learned the intricate art of the spies
those who are still not captured by the enemies
in the middle of their yards
take the bait
and put it back to the sea
you must learn how to fish too
in this expedition of lies and deception
take the shape of the mythical mermaid
swim like a slimy fish but sing like a beautiful woman.

Fundamental of Liar Chapter VIII: Love
Cineraria laughs at me in the dark
There's time when I dreamed
That you'll choose me to be loved
You start a lie that you don't know
I know the lie but I let it happen
Though I have this arm in my shoulder
My heart restlessly cries
Lies love lies
You and I are lying
We lying each other
We lying to ourself
We both repeat the lie to cover the lie
How can we be happy above the lie?
Then you know this love is lie
You're caring me just because you don't want to be hurt
To protect me but you actually protect yourself
Your warmth and tender is true but love me not
You still pretend to love me and keep lying
I keep lying pretend not to see
Your smile always seen sad
Your eyes seem want to apologize
This lie becomes a must to build our love
Lies love lies
We are loving because a lie
This is a perfect love of lie
So I take a lie to free you
I don't need this fake love
Because there's only one truth not lie
That I really love you

A Refusal to Conform
I'm so tired of being sensible,
Tired of being wise,
All of the things I should do,
It's lies, lies, lies!
I want to get drunk instead,
I want to get right out of my head,
All of the things you told me to do,
All the ways I could have pleased you,
It's lies, lies, lies!
It comes as no surprise
That getting drunk is the only way out,
Let me stand on the rooftops and shout
'Lies, lies, lies! '
You'd have liked me to be a good boy,
Someone your colleagues could employ,
Someone who fitted in,
Who didn't have the courage to sin,
Someone to make you proud,
Someone who didn't shout out loud
'It's lies, lies, lies! '
I wasn't prepared to say yes to you,
I wasn't prepared to do what you do,
Go to hell, old father,
It's lies, lies, lies,
And that is the way a hero dies!

Freedom Lies
Freedom, theres more to your life so now[? ]
Old laws, man has made only blind.
Oh, give us freedom, a call to the brave and the strong,
To stand in the face of all wrong and show the way.
Freedom lies, freedom lies, freedom lies.
Freedom to live out the dream in a song,
Give hope to the hearts of the young.
Oh, give us freedom to act out of love and not fear,
So all that is true will be clear.
Hear tomorrow, calling hold me, show me.
Freedom lies, freedom lies, freedom lies.
Freedom lies, freedom lies, freedom lies.

Never Be Lonely
Says she wants to dance real slow
Real slow
It's gettin' late and it's time to go
But I don't wanna know
Feels strange to be holding on to someone new
After so long
Don't tell me what I need to hear
Tell me what I wanna hear
And baby make me believe it
Chorus:
Say I'll never be lonely again
I don't need a lover tonight just a friend
I know I'm lost but maybe you found me
Tell me lies and put your arms around me
Say I'll never be lonely again
Help me to pretend
Whisper to me it'll be alright
And it'll be alright
I guess it's you 'n me against the night
And it's a long brutal night
'N if I'm dragging you into my life
That's the price of the ticket
It's good to have you along for the ride
Now speak those words
I don't care if you don't mean it
Chorus
In a world of hurt
You need someone you can bleed on
A true friend
But nothin's ever for sure
Sometimes a friend can be
Long gone
Says she wants to dance real slow
Real slow
It's gettin' late and it's time to go
But just lie once more
Baby make me believe it
You know I'm lost but maybe you found me
Tell me lies and put your arms around me
Say I'll never be lonely again
Help me to pretend

Lie To Me
Lie to me. Tell me what I want to hear
'cause the truth just hurts too much.
Lie to me. Give me words insincere,
like you love me and my touch.
And even if I feel that they're not true
without these words what will I do?
I've heard them for so long a time from you
and still they make me feel brand new.
When I hear them whispered in my ear
I can pretend they're not lies that I hear.
So lie to me. Tell me lies.
I do not need to sympathize
and make myself come undone.
I just pretend that you still care
and strip my pride, strip it bare
and believe all the lies,
every last one.
So lie to me, my love.

Love, Luck, and Lies
How grand it is to be earnest,
To win the heart of one’s beloved.
Having the love of such a beauty
And even her hand in marriage.
And yet such a dense lady to adore;
For with my name she loves me true,
And without it, she loves me not.
Why do I, then, make it business
To take her as my wife?
Is her love so delightful and worthy
If she cannot love me if I were Jack?
Well marriage is but a misunderstanding
And divorces are indeed made in heaven.
And if it takes a lie to love
And to win her heart as well;
Then let love and luck and lies prevail,
For how grand it is to be Ernest!

The Adulterous Wife
As her Children sleep in their bed
While her husband lays down his sleepy head
She quietly gets up and starts continuing her lies,
As this is the story, of the Adulterous wife.
She lies and cheats and do the sins that she shouldn't,
Sadly though, this isn't the first time for this woman
As in her past she has done this all before
Sadly her husband didn't know, that he had married a whore.
As when he is at work, she was never at home
And when her girl's slept, she was never alone
She lied and cheated and used her husband for a price
As this is the story of the Adulterous wife.
She sneaks out of the house whenever she can
So she can jump in the bed of another man
He then uses her, and then she lies to him
But neither can lie to GOD, when their beginning becomes their end.
And when her daughter's get older and they feel the strife
I wander if they will be like their mother, the adulterous wife
She argues and fights with her husband all the time
Loyalty and love to her husband has been left far behind.
The vow she swore to GOD she has broke it once again
Now she is a marked woman, in front of women and men
She has affairs with her lovers, that only the devil could believe
Asking them to come and rescue her, and set herself free.
She is never happy unless she is in another mans bed
Only happiness she brings that man, is when he is dead
She tells her lies and say all her men of hers are abusers
But she never let them know, that she is but a user.
And she'll keep her lies from yesterday unto today
And while she sins, other men lay down to pray
How sad it is to live that type of sinful life
But this is the true story of the Adulterous wife.

Are You Married or Single?
Marriage is an institution that changes human life
After the wedding ceremony a brand new life begins
This means that nobody is ever the same again
Everybody anticipates better life after the wedding
Not all anticipation materialize the way we wanted
If you are one of the happily married ones
You should count your blessings and rejoice
Human beings get married for many reasons
Many get married for love and affection
Some get married for money and security
Few get married for convenience and expediency
Other people get married to have children
While the rest are married for other reasons
Marriage is meant to increase our happiness
But not all the married ones are truly happy
Those who are happily married, rejoice
Because they found the compatible partner
Because they have beautiful children
Because they love and respect each other
Because they sincerely care for each other
Because they have understanding in-laws
Staying married does not mean that your life
Is free from worries, problems and tribulations
Always remember your vows on the wedding day
For better or for worse, for richer or for poorer
If you are given the chance to do it all over again
Will you marry the same partner?
Or you will prefer marrying somebody else
Whatever may be your response or answer?
Please stay happy and enjoy the moment

Listen
the best way for me
to know that you
really love me
is when i tell you
lies and you
pretend that
they are all true
and then you kiss
and hug me and
tell me that
you love me
very much.
perhaps i will
opt for change
and live with
you all the days
of my life.
love loves my lies
as well as my truths.

Ode to a Firefly
Firefly
fly so high
just to know
you're alright
crashing down
to the ground
firefly
you're not alright
your charade
does portray
endless light
like you're alright
firefly
in the sky
no one sees
the other side
firefly
constant lies
you pretend
you're just fine
but deep inside
firefly
your heart cries
crimson tears
firefly
dim the light
let us in
we're on your side
but your pride
firefly
is the reason
that you died
ode to you
firefly
so much pain
in your life
no one saw
through your facade
until the end
goodbye my friend
firefly
lonely life
tried to hide
the pain inside
but in the end
you can't pretend
everything's alright
when it's not tonight
ode to you
firefly
no more pain
no more lies
firefly
firefly
light the sky
oh firefly
