our falsity is other's joy...so why not? let's seek our happiness in making others happy in these lives condemned to flasehood!

A 'Lie'... to whom? Lie can't be aimed at others It's aimed at one's own sense It’s that you don't believe But uttered with an intention. Your last line is superb... It’s a 'Consolation' to oneself That one's lie is to make others happy. A listener of a lie, when is strong. Lies are just flies to him. It’s here today and there tomorrow Doesn’t matter around. Dear Poet, you gave me good grass to eat At the very first sight of this day. Nice and simple, Your usual style. Thank you.

Very good poem. wonderful topic u selected. Yes often we lie to please others as a matter of social compulsion. On a lighter vein a 60 year husband tells his 58 year old wife 'with passing days you are growing more and more beautiful' may be just for a cup of coffee...ha ha ha..
