Just a... lie

Have you ever told a lie?
With a sudden twist so sly
A slipping of the tongue
Revenge so fiercely flung
Contempt or mere revenge
A white one to pretend
sparing the feelings of another
Caught red handed by your mother

Did you ever look behind
As the lie that you had told
Began to reach beyond your lips
And frightfully unfold
A hurricane of category five
Leaving no one in its path alive
The rippling effect it has
Like dominoes that fall
Listen and you’ll hear the wreckage
Ripping down the wall
All for the need to get one by
Tell me have you ever told a lie?
