Does Anyone Care

There are lies we give and lies we take. They are never forgotten, make no mistake. Our earnings from those casting stones. Cuts and bruises, more broken bones. Truth's shield and sword, they both we own. Only truth can stop, lies getting thrown. They will cripple and crush your very soul. Help stop the lies from being told. The lies defame, and bring forth sorrow. Their ghastly grip, do more than borrow. The broth of lies will never end. With sword and shield, may truth defend. May truth avenge, all lies beware. Does anybody really care? *does anyone care poetry contest* 2-12-20 This poem is an abstract about addiction.

You are right Mark. You can't fool all the people all of the time, but (as you know) it isn't necessary; a majority is quite enough.
