Term Limits

Truth is not flexible though often stretched if not totally perverted-- the liar a master manipulator of words and people: I listen to the politician stretch both sides of his mouth, the serpent tongue not always visible behind expensive implants, but the scent is a giveaway.

Grotesque portraits of the great distance from heaven Godless men will travel to solidify dominion over those weaker. They prize themselves where once were Genuine Pulitzers; but time heals all wounds-- and time resurrects those wrongly crucified, before their ascension (kicking and screaming) will drag their murderers down into hell for just reward: What they always wanted-- Terms without limits….
