Answer:

A Black Man Talks of Reaping

I have sown beside all waters in my day

I planted deep, within my heart the fear

That wind or fowl would take the grain away.

I planted safe against this stark, lean year.

 

I scattered seed enough to plant the land

In rows from Canada to Mexico

But for my reaping only what the hand

Can hold at once is all that I can show.

 

Yet what I sowed and what the orchard yields

My brother' sons are gathering stalk and root,

Small wonder then my children glean in fields

They have not sown, and feed on bitter fruits  

*   *   *   *   *

Idolatry

You have been good to me, I give you this:

The arms of lovers empty as our own,

marble lips sustaining one long kiss

And the hard sound of hammers breaking stone.

 

For I will build a chapel in the place

Where our love died and I will journey there

To make a sign and kneel before your face

And set an old bell tolling on the air.

 

*   *   *   *

Why to people lie to the world?​
aliya0001 [1]
However, of the most common motives for telling lies, avoiding punishment is the primary motivator for both children and adults. Other typical reasons include protecting ourselves or others from harm, maintaining privacy, and avoiding embarrassment, to name a few.


Please remember that people lie out of necessity too ... forgive them if they ask for an apology
There are also white lies which are use for good purposes
