Spin Masters

SPIN MASTERS SPINNING AWAY THE DAY
Every moment
I turn on the TV
What do I see
Nothing but liars laying down lies
Spin Masters spinning spam of deceit
 
Chanting
The truth will set you free
White is black
Black is white
Lies are true
Truth is a lie
Lies will set you free
 
I see nothing
But politicos
Dropping down lies
UN truths masquerading as the truth
Oh so sincerely
The lies spew forth so sweetly
From their corrupted lips
 
The toxic wastes
Spree out of my TV set
Infecting my soul
With paranoid distrust
 
And I vainly try
I do try
God do I try
To the find
 
The nugget of truth
Buried deep in the dark, dank, dangerous
Black, evil miasmic mists
Given off 
By the talking heads on TV
 
So I leave my house
So full of doubt
And wander about

Looking for the truth
Some semblance of hope
And I look up

And see a solitary cherry tree
High up on a hill top street
Infusing the air
With its sweat ambrosia
And I smile
Knowing
Someday soon

The national nightmare
Will be pierced by the light
Of clarity and truth
 
And the evil ones
The body snatched aliens
Inhabiting our leaders
Will be banished

If only we could blame it on aliens...lies have many tongues but the truth only one.
