tell it often enough and a lie will become truth


Lie Low The Truth Is High

Lies lie low
well below
what we know
to be true
so a view
is askew
and a wrong
grows so strong
and will belong
as a fact
not an act
that is backed
by mistakes
and other fakes
like sponge cakes
full of air
and nothing fair
to declare
just a sweet
sugar treat
people eat
to make them feel
so surreal
dispite the deal
where wrong begins
to honor sins
and so it wins

this is great! everything about it is so true and the flow feels like the rapidity of how lies rampage from lie to fact from one foul mouth to the next. applaud!

We have seen this in our own lives so very real in the justice system.
