Cathartic Healing
the simple truth
many do not speak
many do not know
many have forgot
the words do not lie
the man behind does
from president to priest
history records acts of deceit
unethical concern exist
unauthorized remorse
life uneconomical
people sent to die
indifferent religion?
gassed, shot, torture, hung
with a lie this all begun?
A simple man,
in a mad mans head
economics enough to ensure
millions dead
search, ask who is in charge-
a mad man? his lie?
your lie, your life?
