Truth Sequestered

Barricaded in cellars
as falsehoods rock the landscape

Truth sequestered, fragments
  ~ devolution to the Age of Apes

Reminds me of a comment made by 'Keefer' in Herman Wouk's 'The Caine Mutiny:' The Navy's manual is written by idiots to be executed by morons... (or something like that). ~ Anchors Aweigh, Robert!

Devolving more by the minute. Soon the Truth will be a spineless amoeba, crushed by Mountains of Lies. ~ Say it ain't so!

Tom, how about you and me? You and I get in line behind the rest of the world's 'nobodies' ready to gun down Putin, while Biden fiddles and Ukraine burns. :) gw

Truth be told, it's a pity I had to be so pithy! Thanks, Valsa.
