Is the Truth the 1st Casualty of War
Really ?
And why is it ?
Do you even have to ask ?
Is the " Truth "
The 1st casually of War
Does a nail have a head
Does the sun go down at the end of the day
Is grass green the sky blue
Fire burn water wet
Maybe it's because in order to to convince
people to put themselves in harm's way
and wage war and be willing to die
The truth simply will never suffice
You have to in fact come up with
a lie so implausible and despicable
Not a 1 single human being dare refuse
to fight and take up arms against
Because if the truth wasn't indeed the
very 1st casualty of war
There wouldn't in fact be a war or a
1 single a another of casualty thereafter
Truth equates to peaceful resolution
Whereas lies lead to conflicts and fighting
