Those Who Spread Falsehoods

What others say of me can't say I much care Since of my own shortcomings I am all too aware But when speaking of me of me do not lie Since you would not like lies to be spread about you neither would I. Some truths of me may seem bitter but the truth I can take I won't lose sleep to the truth all night in bed awake To deliberately spread lies about someone is a terrible thing Those who spread falsehoods bad karma on themselves do bring. Sometimes by the truth friendships are lost and won But the truth is the truth when all is said and done The truth can convict you or set you free And the truth is never wrong with that most would agree Though we may not always like of us what is true I will accept the truth since the truth is my due But deliberate lies of us seem hard to forgive For I too believe in live and let live.
