Easier To Lie

For this I was born and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. John 18:37
When they ask, “How ya doin’?
it’s easier to say “doin' fine”, 
keep to the party line
when, truth be told, 
I’m ready to explode. 

Sure, it’s easier to tell a lie
but when I deny reality
I grind down my integrity 
and eventually 
neither you nor I know me.

It was easier for Jesus to lie
and give Pilate some other reply
save his life with a dishonest oath
but he was born to testify to the truth
thus, the King of Kings set the precedent 
for any decent king or president.
