White Lie

5 2 1
                                    

Blue as the sky

Brown as the dirt

White as the lie

To save someone hurt

Green as the grass

Strong as the tree

Black as the past

We all try to flee

It grows like a weed

Taking a form of its own

Now we believe

The lie that was shown

A wildfire has started

One you cannot extinguish

The truth has departed

In the lie you now languish.
