Hmmm

Really? Hmmm, So what you’re saying Is covering up truth With well intentioned Though misguided facts Changes a lie from what it is Hmmm, By slapping goodwill On the face of deception Adding guilt to questions asked Throwing in things seemingly good That we all should do Changes a lie from what it is Hmmm, So by disregarding the truth Saying it’s the spirit that counts Makes following and joining the lie An accepted worldwide truth Hmmm, By adding a name who often spoke Of the origin of lies We find changing His words Acceptable in our eyes For after all, we do so for Him Hmmm, Interesting… Wonder what He himself Would say and think Of how we rationalize Changing a lie from what it is
