Because you don't owe service to the truth.
If what is true is difficult or trying
You can ignore it; if it is uncouth
You can pretend the proper ways are true;
In short, if you or others might prefer
A different world, then you are welcome to
Claim everything is as you wish it were.
And who among us does not have some things
They wish were changed, within this world of ours?
A lie, well-told, thus such elation brings
That by comparison what's honest sours.
Of course, if anyone were checking in
They'd find the lie--but being found's the sin.
