i learned it the hard way

Admit a lie
Say sorry and do a write
It doesn’t take much foresight
When events proved otherwise

I used to tell my staff
Tell the truth don’t lie
You dig more holes to cover a lie
Then the light will never shine

When it is wrong
Be a gentleman say sorry
Indirect information
It always has its pitfalls
No matter how much it is sworn on it

A journalist always goes both sides
A scoop of news is all about
Then by perception others think
Life has many pitfalls
In the journey of views and perceptions
There is a yes; there is a no
And hitting walls isn’t solving anything

See even in court of law
Judges too can be wrong
On evidence produced subsequently deduced
It is life; I learned it the hard way
