Seriously

Many a true word said in jest
and many a lie as well
perhaps to be silent is best
with nothing at all to sell.

The fact is we hide from each other
afraid to show who we are
or go to a great deal of bother
to speak with intent to do harm.

Rhymed abab
For Express It In Eight, 11.19.24
Prompt: Joke.
