They Fed Us Lies

they fed us lies and contradictions confronted us with interventions for we lived our life without solution asking no one for guilt’s ablution hard thoughts they fed concrete consensus we chew and shred alone defenseless ideas hiding beneath the clutter humming birds soft wings aflutter argue with lie’s roaring voice this is our world we have a choice ©1/3/2019 Food For Thought Poetry Contest Silent One - sponsor

yup, lies, damn lies, and statistics....and now fake news. A math teacher once showed us an equation that could prove 1 equal to zero. It was based one of those "assuming that" statements....
