POEM STARTER
A truth that's told with bad intent
Beats all the lies you can invent.
Use this quote from the poet William Blake in a poem with a defined structure. As this is a rhyming couplet, your stanza format should follow however you use the quote.
The Policy Of Honesty
The policy of honesty’s
Not best, as far as I can see
Chatter full of little lies
Keeps the blinkers on the eyes
Heads that rest deep in the sand
To us we may misunderstand
To us it may seem fake, surreal
Why not expose the big reveal
But ask yourself why you want to
Cast this truth and so impromptu
It doesn’t matter they need to know
Though you could move from friend to foe
They need to see the path they are on
A path they may or may not remain on
Make their world more realistic
Know your act is altruistic
And keep in mind this line of wisdom
And know that you can always give some
A truth that’s told with bad intent
Beats all the lies you can invent
