They said my pants will catch fire
If I grow up to be a liar
And a hard lesson I will learn
When I lead my pants to burn
…
But that warning never deterred me
Instead I took it quite seriously
And I sinned and lied and called names
Just to see if my pants caught flames
…
So I lied and lied and lied again
Till I entered a liar’s den
All my pants caught was dust
But my soul did combust
I thought I was going to laugh, tongue in cheek and playful as this seemed, until the last line. A clincher. Great poem.

Ouch. Sad. Even though I know the right, sometimes I still, regrettably, do the wrong.

This is great. Very clever way with words and poignant. I find it sad that anymore people won’t even think twice about telling a lie. I had fallen into that trap myself and trying very hard now, not to lie even over something that wouldn’t hurt anyone. Honesty is important. 🙂

The Lord is patient, even while we keep on sinning against Him. He hope that we will see the error of our ways and repent. However, if we stubbornly hold on to our habits, not considering the consequences, the fires of hell will be our destiny and our pants and even our soul will catch on fire.

If only people that did not lie could only pair with like minds.
Unfortunately we think because we don’t lie because it is so natural of course we think it comes as natural to those we love. It hurts so much more because we believe while they deceive and we believe hook line and sinker

Of course. Friends never want to see friends sad, yet, writing it is a release as hard as it may be to read a friend is hurting. Be kind to yourself.
