Truth and Lies
When the lies, the violence and the hate
get to be too much
I am lost, come to the party far too late
and truth and reality lay in a deceitful hush.
Tell me a truth, a reality
of what the future still can be
while destruction is raised and existing free
ignoring and displacing me.
Too many lies, too many egocentric games
take in the poor, the rich and middle of humanity
and there is no escape, no reprieve or shame
of dictatorship, authoritarian right and left insanity.
Reorganize, rebuild, start over again
never going to happen
it's all pseudo promises and greed in sin
as the multitudes succumb and madden.
Seems to me no truth exists in governing
only self deluded democracy
where all stays hidden in plundering
and the shadows of hypocrisy.
