Politics
Politicians
Definition: (Webster’s dictionary)
To deceive, dismay, confuse or blind 
How perfect !
Simply put 
Misplaced faith by the masses 
But truly not our fault 
Just a little slow that’s all 
When you’ve been lied to from the beginning 
What else do you have to compare it to ?
But lets look at it for what it really is 
******** !!!
Who can sling it and sugarcoat it the best 
Wins my vote
The lesser of two evils I suppose 
It almost seems like a talent show 
Who can dazzle, dance, and defy the one thing we really want
TRUTH !!!
Very simple, effective, and enlightening
Though a scary concept I admit 
But definitely something new 
But then again………..
Would they believe you ??
If they did tell the truth 
How would we know ??
Think about it 

Eric ( and sometimes not )

Truth is what you believe and since lies are all thats offered, truth is simply a lie you believe. Thank you for you question.
