Lying, high-level muckety-mucks,
Should heed what The Bible instructs!
Airways and news outlets, not long ago,
Refused to label that which we all know,
Were just flagrant, down-right deceiving lies,
By those who wore ‘The Honorable…’ prize. 1
When confronted with ‘alternative facts’,
Reporters feared some judicial attacks,
Since calling a lie exactly what it is,
Risked facing a cross-examination whiz. 2
So what were the responses of the global media,
As it sought to keep closed, legal ‘boxes of pandoras’??
Rather than calling lies what they were, exactly, 3
Reporters used euphemisms, creatively:
o Baseless allegations
o Debunked theories
o Disinformation
o Erroneous claims
o False narratives
o Inaccurate statements
o Misinformation
o Misleading or unsubstantiated claims
o Unfounded claims
o Untruths
Thus, to dance around Truth, folks used such ‘careful prose’,
As, from the mouths of ‘The Honorables’, lies flowed.
Lies that were believed by many, not just a few. 4
Some folks said, ‘That’s just what ALL high officials do!’
But now, bold voices call the lies by name,
As courts demand the liars face their shame.
Yet lies persist, like poison in the air,
From ‘Honorable’ folks who no longer care.
Judges, executives who their companies rape,
Leaders, lawmakers who break laws they shape,
With their lies, they tear the fabric of life’s essence,
When to Truth, they show little-to-no reverence.
When to high standards, leaders are not held accountable,
But folks conclude their bevy of lies are believable,
This they will learn - Lies into fertile hearts that are sown,
Are seeds from which …ruinous rebellions will be grown!
Societal rot! Lies are seeds, then fruits of such,
To which many believing hearts will tightly clutch.
Seeds from early fruits, grow bumper FUTURE harvests!!!
Deeds will then morph from mere mistrusts, to sheer disgusts!
Leaders may think lies leave no real trace,
Until they’re forced to face their disgrace.
Leaders’ lies, conceived for… temporary gains,
In gullible hearts leave …indelible stains.
Their intentions are cloaked, thus our judgments are blurred,
But He Who knows ALL hearts, has given us His Word.
Once etched in stone, His core laws are quite clear.
Those who break them, will face judgments severe!
As liars rise, they fail to see or heed rots’ signs,
Rot now runs deep, and its weakening nations’ spines,
In the end, Truth will come out, and justice won’t expire,
For ALL liars will be cast in The Lord’s …lake of fire! 5
Speculating: What if that lake might be compartmentalized,
By categories of sinners Jesus anathematized, 6
In His final, written warnings in His apocalypse book.
I doubt you will search for it, so here it is. Take a good look.
‘But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.’ (Revelation 21:8. The second death isn’t anything like death as we currently know it, but an anguish-filled eternity, in a very sentient, immortal body, in an inescapable lake of fire.)
‘But there shall by no means enter it (The New Jerusalem on the new, eternal Earth), anything that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in The Lamb’s Book of Life.’ 7 (Revelation 21:27)
‘But outside (outside of the new Jerusalem and the glorious nations surrounding it on the new, eternal Earth) are dogs (those who, in life, will have been wicked, depraved, vile and spiritually impure), sorcerers, sexually immoral, murderers, idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie.’ (Revelation 22:15, Jesus’ final words on the matter.)
Jesus said in this fiery lake, liars won’t be alone!
They’ll be joined by folks who loved and heeded lies that were sown!!!
Folks today who love and heed lies may not know this promise,
Unless you who decide to share His Truth, make good progress.
Let’s stand up for TRUTH, and call a lie, a LIE!
Don’t believe lies unlimited, told ‘on the fly’,
Especially by those who wear ‘The Honorable’ titles.
Let’s retard the rot, and on lies, join in turning the tables.

2 Legally, proving a statement is a lie requires acceptable evidence of intent and motive.
3 I say, exactly, because many such remarks were later proven and judged to be lies.
4 ‘An evildoer heeds wicked lips; a liar listens to destructive talk.‘ (Proverbs 7:14) To you, what does this verse infer about people who believe and act on what is established to be lies?? What about this one? ‘
5 This pertains to any/all liars who abuse The Lord’s Grace and time given to repent.
6 Anathematize - to pronounce an anathema (a curse) upon.
7 Through men, The Lord wrote The Bible, comprising 66 books (which I suggest reading as chapters of one book). It is fascinating to study what The Bible says about books. The most pivotal insights are about The Book of Life, in which is written the name of every person who accepts God’s offer of salvation and eternal life, including folks who, during the pre-cross ages of history, died in faith toward Him, the unseen God. Is your name written therein? See: Revelation 3:5, 20:12-15, 21:27 and 22:19. All of His books correlate with His consistent strategy and message, that Jesus is Lord over all creation, and Judge over all flesh. Any book purporting to be His, that does not resound with this core message, isn't His, period!
