No Truth In a Lie

There is no truth within a lie,
 looking at all the evidence denied,
 the rhetoric of first and second amendment rights
seem hypocritical cries, when
 those who spout the lie voice no honor or amends
 claiming to be the populaces best friend
yet, redacting their very choice
 and suppressing their inner voice.

Democracy may soon be dying
 pushed down and buried by all the denying lying
 denouncing anyone who fails to go
with the party flow
 and like a comedy tv show
 they willingly follow the ridiculous and outrageous lies
incapable of ever acknowledging why
 America once raised truth, justice and equality cries.
