Imaginary Fourth Reichs
As the dark pursues the light to gobble it up
So do new lies chase old truths to obliterate them
In a government that lives on lies
their truth will always be suspect
Repeating lies over and over
to make them true
did not work for the 3rd Reich
and it won't work for this imaginary 4th Reich
Some politicians and their business shills
Do not recognize facts as truths
as honesty can break beautiful deals
Truth shines too bright a light on lies
Truth is majestic and outlives falsehoods
Falsehoods ultimately cower before truth
Lies eventually die from exposure
The light of integrity subdues all liars
Beware of those who make deals in dark places,
Deceit hides in the pall of their schemes
Demand transparency and the truth will be revealed!
And your reality will never be ephemeral or misleading.
