Synonyms of Lying

In the article above, we have this admission, 'At the end of that segment, Figliuzzi said that FBI Director Kash Patel has been more visible at nightclubs than the FBI headquarters. This was a misstatement. We have not verified that claim.' So, what does 'misstatement' mean? It means a lie. 

Some years ago, we heard Ms Hillary Clinton say, '...I misspoke...'. Misspoke means lying.

Do you think there should be synonyms of 'lying'? Or, should it only have one antonym: Truth?

Final fire

It is easy to have the delusion

That soft corners are forever,

But no corners are left behind,

Whether soft or hard,

In the final fire.

 

The Atman lags behind

 

The Atman lags behind

As the mind races.

The gap keeps increasing,

Through lifetimes,

And lifetimes,

Sometimes the mind slows down,

When it is caught in Alzheimer's,

Or, when caught in the trembles

Of the Richter Scale,

And sits down to catch its breath,

Sits down to pray.

How many calamities

Will we need

Till the Atman catches up

With the mind?

Don't ask permission

 

Someone sent this beautiful message: 

On the other hand, I couldn't help but add:

Don't ask permission to cry:

The tears are yours,

And the pain belongs only to you.

We cut off the Light

 

We are the earth,

We are the eclipse,

We come between our Love,

And Sun,

And cut off the Light.

Scent the Eden

 

All the stars in the sky

Could not light the way,

Until

The moon rose.

All the flowers in the garden

Could not scent the Eden,

Until

You came.

Heart's whisper

 

When the wheels are inexorably

taking you to love,

When the stars are guiding

Your way to love,

When you feel the power of

pronoia,

Know that heart's whisper is real,

not Utopia.
