I Cannot Tell a Lie

Men's minds are devious at the best of times Always twisting their stories I should know, I'm one of dem der guys Pretty sure I'm no different than 98% of my fellow males It's inbred into our psyche and of this I'm sure We're really damn proud of it However I'm a straight shooter At the expense of my fellow males I apologize Hate blowing the whistle on you guys But I can't help it... as George Washington once said “I cannot tell a lie” Everything and I mean EVERYTHING That comes out of my mouth Is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth So help... Z-Z-Z-A-A-A-A-A-P-!

...yes...truth gets a bit....independent....with respect 'us'.... natures truth-patterns fogged over by the randomness we call everyday 'chaos'....andt, our 1/14th second conscious time is always of a past passed.....we are the 'question' - what be now.....seek a....butterfly effect....keep writing...... stan
