Nothing, Everything

Nothing, Everything

To the liar a word is nothing.

He may speak, but air is free,

His word is air. He means nothing.

To the liar an oath is nothing.

An oath is words, but words are free

His words are air. His oath means nothing.

To the liar his post means nothing.

He is sworn to his post, but he has sworn an oath,

His oath is air. His post means nothing.

To the liar his duty is nothing.

He will speak the words, but words are air,

He has sworn but air. His duty is nothing.

To the liar his loyalty is nothing.

He will speak of duty, but his oath is air,

His word is air. His loyalty is nothing.

To the liar his service is nothing.

He will speak of loyalty, but his speech is air,

His commitment is nothing. His service is nothing.

To the liar, he is everything.

He wants your loyalty, that is your duty,

You will be of service; he will be everything.

To the liar you are nothing.

He has no loyalty, his oath is air,

His word is empty, he is nothing.
