Truth In America

Real disaster is looming on the horizon for American life 

this country’s leadership disdains the spirit of truth 

its sycophants continue to embrace the lies

repelled by honesty and facts

mendacity guides their daily mantra

dark, evil poltergeists dwell in our White House now

death thrives in their hearts 

darkness looms in our future

the only purification for lies is to vote

it's the only remedy that will

undo this undemocratic fiasco
