Thine is Just Fine (Really... Thine is)
Thou shalt not lie
But shalt thou make an enemy
of one who is a friend?
Shalt thou seem a rash
and rageful being?
Shalt thou burn a bridge
never to be repaired?
Thou shalt not lie?
No.
Thou shalt not be mean,
thou shalt not harbour a pained resentment
thou shalt not be ungrateful,
thou shalt not sin in envy,
thou shalt not manufacture suffering,
thou shalt not force oneself to hurt.
Thou shalt not lie?
No.
Thou shalt lie,
if thou shalt retain a happy mask
worn so long that sadness is not seen.
For if not seen, the sadness dissapears.
And happiness shalt reign,
Unless thou shalt not lie.
