Sense Sonnet - Chiller

 Better Tell the Truth

Who really knows what the truth is?

And how often the truth is told?

Lyings' become the normal biz,

And quickly learned by young from old.

Modern science has no doubt found

An effective truth serum that,

If distributed all around,

Could force truth on world habitat.

In the water supply put such

A chemical so humankind

Would be discouraged to lie much,

Telling the truth utmost in mind.

Anyone who does tell a lie

Would have a heart attack and die.
