what way is better

permits a will to fetter

truth a debtor

to a masked lie

and a counterfeit thereby

is truth nearby

and denied its guard?

guard to verify canard

restrictions discard

when the lie shatters,

if reality matters

truth under tatters

may endure the will

of the one gushing forth swill.

but truth as lies still

waits discovering

identity recovering.

reason hovering

astute guard discerns

to facts he returns

and with truth's concerns

as described, uses

that insight to slip that noose

leashing right to choose
