Ballot

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 Bullshit !!! 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.
