Mmm. The wine of lies tastes so good.

So much better than the truth ever could.

Honesty is bitter and dry as old wood.

It sticks in the throat like a splinter would.

The wine goes down easy, sweet on the lips.

It quenches the thirst with the very first sip

But then it grows into a bottomless pit.

Consuming itself and all who drank it.
