The Truth Or Something Like It
The Truth or Something Like It
Aah, the truth and nothing but the truth
Who do we believe in this day and age
Where a guy named Donald spouts about fake news
And always seems to be in a rage
Who do you trust if it’s not your president
How do you get information if not from this sage
If the FBI cannot be trusted according to him
What else are we to surmise at this stage
Is there anyone left in who we can trust
Or are we permanently thrust in this cage
And just when we thought we’re as low as we can sink
Some women come forward in a display of courage
In a world so harsh and critical at best
They took a stand to spill their baggage
For the abuse from years long ago
Can be silenced no longer is their message
To all those who hide the truth
Know that we all come from the same village
The time has come to seek the truth
From those that took advantage
Hurting one of us is to hurt us all
It is time to write a new passage
