Lies, lies, lies

a travesty believed to be a gift from his benevolent grace,
A chemical imbalance, an imperfection, a deceitful disgrace.
Do not be fooled by this malevolent waste,
Free yourself of these lies tight embrace.
This lie is a virus passed amongst society much like H.I.V.
Only the virus that I speak of is spelled L. O. V. E.

No meter, dramatic, bad end rhymes... I know, I know..
An intriguing and curt poem. Lines three and four are imbalanced. I honestly think it would sound better like this:

"A lovely little falsity, better yet, it is a lovely little fable...
Preying on the minds of the young, the weak, the willing and able."

Line five, did you mean to leave it with a lowercase a? It distracts from the content of the poem.

Line eight is hard to read because of its double meaning, to be free from lies or to embrace lies tight. If it was my poem, I'd write:

"Free yourself of the tight embrace of these lies"

This line also has a rhyme (Though not an audible one) with line nine. The only other minor change might be in punctuation. Lines five through seven would be better off without it, to improve the flow when the poem is read aloud. All in all, I found it a nice love poem. It doesn't seem cliched to me, much of the content is quite original. The whole theme of it being a "chemical imbalance" makes me think of sexual deviance. A nice little ditty, and I hope to read more poetry from you. Thanks.
*Warning: blatant tomfoolery above this line
