children have to learn how to lie

The people I feel closest to are those who never learnt to lie
My mother never lied
My father never lied
Maybe that’s why I dislike most middle class people I meet
Middle class relationships are based on lies
Everyone must lie if they want to get ahead
But we tell the truth down on the Avenues
We have to be truthful to each other or we won’t survive
Solidarity is our security
Of course we all lie to the landlords and the bosses
Telling the truth to them would be a form of lying
