The sound of lies

Dishonesty abrades one's ears and
sensibilities, as does the
crumpling metal of crashing cars
discordant music
loneliness
bullying laughter
dishes breaking
gunshot echoes
crying children,
eardrums wincing at the clangor of
prevarication.

(Poetry prompt from Poetic Asides 7/13/11: write a poem about a sound.)
