Broken Promises

Your promises fall to the ground like autumn leaves.
They are like the drops in an ocean, Or the stars in the sky.
The crust on a pie so easily broken.
Your lips may move but the truth stays hidden away.
I dont  need  lie detectors, Just my ears.
No torture chambers or dossier of lies
No more sons need to die 
Always remember a politians promises, Are like snow flakes they will melt away
Until the next illegal war comes to take your young soldiers away
