I have lied to my children Like a disgruntled employee Allowing them to believe In Santa Clause, and capitalizing His name as though he really exists.
The tooth fairy, Easter bunny, And lady liberty are all colorful Little white lies coveted by many. I have become a prisoner Of every industry among this mud ball; Toys, candy, toothpaste, and government Have slithered under my skin Wiring me with false pretenses.
I have lied to my children Like a common criminal Allowing them to believe There are no real monsters Out and about in this crazy world.
The murderers, child molesters, And rapists are all blemishes Coating the entire hemispheres! You say, what about terrorists? Did I not mention murderers? If only there were vampires, werewolves, And bogeymen walking our nightmares Then we would at least know How to defeat such creature of darkness - By closing the book or turning off the TV!
