Kicking it Back with some old Poetry

Good afternoon everyone! It's ThrowBack Tuesday.  Now most times when there's a throwback, people tend to want to show old pictures (#DubChallenge) of themselves from a very long time ago and make a comparison to how they look now. But! Because I like to do things differently and I like to switch up and the change from the usual way of doing things, I thought about throwing it back with some poetry.  

This one, which was written a few years ago, is entitled "Fabric of Lies" This piece has no specific story behind it as it was written (if I can remember well) in the wee hours of the morning when I couldn't sleep.  It is one of those short pieces I tend to do when I'm bored or when I am suffering from writers' block so I just need to pen something down; it's also one of my unedited freestyles, for want of a better term. So here's Fabric of Lies:

You reap what you sow

And what you sew,

it will eventually rip.

With weak stitches of fabricated lies

You weave them,

turning every loop with the moves of dishonesty;

you fool them, 

those who don't take the time or have the time to think better,

say better

know better.

You reap what you sow

And soon enough you'll taste the hand of wrath as it glides across your face;

Your soft cheeks that once brought smiles that covered hatred and resentment,

Will one day be filled with dents.

All you speak are lies

And time will tell

What you wish shouldn't be shared

Oh how he'd share the secrets of what you wish would never be aired.

You reap what you sow

And maybe soon enough you'll know

All that, for you, is in store

Time will tell

And eventually

You will reap what you sow.
