Why do people lie?

Why do people lie?

Life 
 There’s the birth
   The entrance 
  Into the world 
       The earth 
Welcome to the earth 
     Life 
There’s the family 
    Creatures 
       Great
 And not so wonderful 
      The first day of
 School 
    The teacher
   The friend 
Swimming carnival 
    Drowning in the pool 
The bully 
   The fiend 
     Principals - none! 
   Life
There’s the man in a white coat 
    They call the dentist 
  Hands small enough to 
Fit into your mouth 
    Mouth
 Mouth 
      Silver instruments 
 Scraping 
     Uuuurgggh
         There’s mum
And dad 
    A dog called Fido
       The neighbour Tom
 Who ended up schizo 
     The lady across the road
        With eyes big like a toad 
          The doctor 
Who placed his finger ffff
   Finger 
     In 
   Mouth 
      To check for 
Disease 
    I have my first disease 
        It’s called bumps 
 Or mumps 
         Sister tease 
 Mother please 
   Father jeeze 
     O Holy Father 
Who out in heaven 
      Out in heaven 
         Please 
There’s the death 
    The killing 
       The terror 
Of living 
      The beauty 
Of mother 
   Nature 
      Mature 
         Rapture 
    Cathedral 
       Steeple 
    The old become feeble 
  Emphysema wheezes 
     Hot summer breezes 
          Global warnings 
  The end is closer 
       The end is closer
    The END
Talking about ends 
      Like Hollywood 
   Dead wood
       Misunderstood 
Actors 
    Playing their part 
  Shakespeare 
Until death do we part 
   Unless you’re 
Woody 
   Allen 
       Elizabeth Taylor 
   Richard Burton
To name a few 
      Life 
   Life 
It ain’t what it says 
In the book of how what 
   You do it 
        The book of life 
     And place of death 
          Death by 
    Murder 
        Disease 
   Accident 
          Trial 
   Mishap 
       Perhaps? 
           Welcome 
And 
    Goodbye 
         No time to cry
              Sigh 
  : 
         Why
    Do 
People 
       Lie?
 Life 
     L I F E 
                L I F E
