False Truth
How we act, and what we say . . .
Define us largely as human beings.
And those actions and words, tend to be
Driven by, mostly our ways and means.
Does this lead to ongoing divides, between
Those of wealth and those without?
Where the poor don't get the resources,
While the privileged have all the clout?
We see daily where some are lost with truth,
Yet these fabrications still find ears to command.
So that those enamored by these false hopes,
Become fraudulent patriots, where they stand.
This ignorant deception is self-defeating,
Since there's no economy by its use.
Because power that is taken does not regenerate . . .
It only weakens by the constant abuse.
