A Warning Against Shadows

In the echo of your inner calm voice,
Choose the path where truths rejoice.
No room for lies and no mask to wear,
Honesty's fire, it is a flame to flare.

Beware the shadows falsehood casts,
In the realm of truth it will make steadfast.
Do not spread tales, it is deceit's cruel brew,
For the darkness sown will swallow you.

Paranoia's whispers are a dangerous snare,
Leading to darkness and for sure a perilous lair.
Do not succumb to its venomous work of art,
Let clarity reign, let guard well your heart.

In the arena where conscience stands,
May you refuse the grip of deceitful hands.
Be a beacon, be strong and be bright,
Defy the shadows, and embrace the light.

Spread not the poison of fake news,
In honesty's realm, may you choose to cruise.
For those who dance in falsehood's spree,
A warning stands: the truth shall see.

In the fortress of honesty, take your stand,
Let deceit crumble like shifting sand.
To the wicked hearts, a message clear,
The path of truth holds no veneer.
