White lies

We don't delve in falsehood,

yet, everything is not a truth,

misdirections, withheld information,

creations of hypothetical scenarios,

all for preventing the confrontations. 

We do fear the complications,

that may arise from revelations, 

of inner thoughts and desires,

or many conflicting opinions,

to the invitations or suggestions. 

Be it's a request from superiors,

some obligations from our relations,

queries from friends and families,

or some professional etiquette, 

that needed our sincere actions. 

Sometimes, we couldn't be honest,

bid our time, for change of questions, 

use polite words to comfort their issues,

feign ignorance, when being encountered, 

with situations, we want to escape from. 

White lies...

It's not our intentions to hurt,

but a way to have us conserve,

or lose energy in an unwanted cause,

only bringing discomfort and displeasure. 

So, let us tread carefully,

limit uses in our daily life,

while not blaming others,

for, everyone have a reason,

to use a little deception. 

It's a white lie, after all. :)
