I Dont Believe It

A lot of the time

Or in some cases 

When a well be known to us

Some what familiar to us kind of person

Due to being in the public eye

Gets exposed

Or caught up in some

Kind of scandal or other 

People seem to say

I can't believe it

I have seen them on television 

They wouldn't or couldn't

Possibly have done that

Well personally it makes me think

That is probably the reason why 

I may actually tend to believe it

Because people in the public eye

Are all such squeaky clean honorable people 

Who have no skeletons in their vast closets

And wouldn't hesitate for a second to

Expose let alone tolerate any form of
wrong doing or deviant behavior 

Back them up or have their back of
that was to be the case

And if you believe that ask yourself 

How do you think you get those types 

Of job's for the boys and mix in those circles

In the first place

If they thought for a single second 

You weren't alike and could possibly

Rock the boat or upset the status quo

Dare I say tell or rat them out as well

If you yourself was to get caught out

They will put and turn the blame on you

In a cell at the end of a rope

So the truth will never come out

Or ever be discovered or unearthed

Believe it or not

Gets harder and harder to believe

What is in fact actually real

Or what is indeed fake anymore 

You just can't tell

If brought to you via television

Interesting stream of consciousness story. I related to the conundrum of keeping the secrets of scary people.
