Cathartic Healing...

the simple truth 
many do not speak 
many do not know 
many souls retreat...

the words do not lie 
the man behind does 

from president to priest 
history records acts of deceit 
unethical concerns 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?
