The Knife Edge of Denial
Does weaponizing a stolen truth
give you the right to lie
From this perverted use of power
do others run and hide
Is this how force is wielded
on the knife edge of denial
With rules you change to suit your needs
your sly deceitful smile
When the real truth comes upon you
will you hang your head in shame
And see what’s false in all you’ve made
—for temporary gain
(Villanova Pennsylvania: October, 2018)
