Allegations, Denials, And Apologies

These days we hear all types of allegations Sexual, consensual, verbal, and physical Many of them can be proven, they're atypical The rest of them are ordinary inventions. Words are powerful, they're like machine guns False accusations are nightmares with lips and buns Once you're tagged, you're history, you just lost Everything under the sun, your livelihood, and your post. People lie for no reasons; people lie for the heck of it Some people will deny: lies, truths and none of the above Some people will apologize for no reasons; they're in love And other people are victims of circumstances; that's it. Allegations can be vindictive, jealous, petty, and unfounded It is like being knockdown cold. It is like drive-by shootings The surprises, the shocks, the nerves, the anger, and the stings That cripple the mind! Liars are devils who deserve to be executed.
