Its a very wel written poem, bold and imposing..though I do not agree with the philosophy behind for a simple reason that if you tell a lie for a lie you are in fact letting it multiply and doesnt the poet contradicted himself? ? ? Still for the poem I give 8 whole heartedly

This is the real power of logic, telling lie is a sin, in every society, but we find also liars in every strata of the society, the so called wrong idea become a justified idea by share of logic, i think no one can deny it...kudos to the logical faculty of the poet, and it seems to me the poet can compose a piece of poetry out of anything...hats off................................
