Their way to mutual respect –

                         to lie that winner ’s incorrect.

                                    Refrain

                                      III


        As when the others toot your horn,
                              it’s stronger than your boasts can spawn,

        He same well-plotted falsehood spun,

                                   makes hard to pardon a blamed one

        There are so many ways of slander,

                               which mix truth and lies like a blender.

        The smart accusers state some truth

                                         to open hearts for lies misuse.


        To follow falsely witnessed acts:

                             the whispers, smearing, gloating whacks,

        Then envy’s cheating, that appears

                                      in sports, competing, and careers,

        Because accused men with no guilt

                                      keep smelling like unpleasant silt

        When lies are opened, truth revealed,

                                             apologies are an easy deal.

                                    Refrain
