Undergoing Vigorous Renovation

It is easy to win someone,
With the telling of lies.
Many refuse to call them that.
Preferring 'Embellished Exaggerations'...
As if a renovation has been made,
To mask flat out lies!

The act begins to win one's confidence,
In a dismantling of truth.
Innocent enough not to be noticed.
As deceivers take their passengers,
Through the weeds of deception.

Many have been encouraged,
To nourish this as a 'gift'.

It is easy to win someone,
With the telling of lies.
Many refuse to call them that.
Preferring 'Embellished Exaggerations'...
As if a renovation has been made,
To mask flat out lies!

And flat out lies told by those masking truths...
Are always undergoing vigorous renovation.
To be changed with the re-telling.
