Death by Exposure

All my life little lies have been whispered
they crawl into my ears like hungry worms
leaving the mouths of parents, peers, culture
this rain forces them out of cracked pavement
but rain is ultimately not the source,
it's oxygen they lack: lies lack the truth
of God that will expose destructive sin.
If exposed, will worms return to the earth
again to dig and plant their subtle lies?
No! Once they step into the light, their fate
is sealed: they die. How may I wash the lies
from the darkened soil of my mind? A Flood:
to wash away the lies of sinful man
and fill my heart with truth and faith and love.
