Calling A Liar By Name Poem by Hebert Logerie

Many people are reluctant to call a liar
By his or her name
They use all kinds of euphemisms: perjurer, falsifier
Prevaricator, ghost crawler, fabricator, deceiver
Predictor, palm reader, and more. That's a shame
And they refer to lies as allegations, anomalies
Deceits, misstatements, calumnies, inaccuracies
Myths, falsehoods, tales, distortions and more
It's about time that we let it pour
Like the rain in May and that we call a liar by name
No matter the title, the fortune or the fame
We should tell it like it is
In order to make the world at ease.
