The Artist's Lies
We are taught that lies are wrong,
but that isn't true, there are exceptions.
Politicians,
con artist men and women,
and even the unenlightened who fall victim to them,
all lie to bury the truth, for their own selfish gain.
Artists will and do lie ever so often,
but only to reveal the truth to everyone,
by bringing the artist's lies to the unbeliever's attention,
and opening the artist's lies up for discussion,
to whoever would give the artist's lies a verbal challenge.
The artist's motive is to inspire others to do their own personal researching,
in order to prove the lying artist wrong,
and they who give the lies of the artist a passionate challenge,
end up realizing the true truth as a result of their learning,
walking away with a hell of a lot of new knowledge and enhanced wisdom.
