The Cover Up

The evidence mounts
Crimes committed and exposed.
Sold our country out!

Britains Biggest Cover Up

Britain’s 
Biggest 
Cover up


As Britain’s biggest broadcasters,
you should hang your heads in shame.
For his despicable crimes,
your cover-ups are to blame.
We won’t give him the honour
of repeating his vile name —
you filled up your cups
as he played his sickening game.

For years and years
you ignored the tears
of innocent young people,
all the time knowing
they stood in the presence of pure evil.
As Britain’s biggest broadcasters,
you had a duty of care —
but that duty seemed reserved
for a man in a tracksuit
with greasy long blonde hair.

I’m not sure how you slept at night
knowing what he had done,
letting this monster
steal the innocence of the young.
You allowed them to become smitten
with the most prolific offender in Britain,
while hiding the truth
of his most depraved intentions.

So hang your heads in shame —
for Britain’s biggest cover-up,
your actions are to blame.
Blood coats your hands,
your silence — the crime.
The victims are buried,
but you’ll serve the time.
For every child broken,
for every soul maimed —
history remembers.
And it spits out your name.

Cover Up

I cry, I  laugh I sniggle and giggle its a cover up for my pain they don't know I wanna scream I wanna  shout I wanna run away I hide depression with a smile I hide saddness pretending to be gladness they think know me but they don't anger frustration, they don't see my clamation I'm at war with myself ,bucket full of tears overflowing at the top dreams of weary ,lessen of sleep drifting in and out nerves all about I laugh and smile goodmorning, hello, how do you do?  I cover up my pain of emptiness and stains  if they saw the real me they would call me crazy so I play the game they like to see I can't even reveal me the pain that lingers inside its a cover up for emptiness and saddness and the way I feel so I'll just shut up and cover up because thats the way I live..

Premium Member Cover Up Your Face

Are you ever serious, people have wondered
Sometimes, if I haven't had a really good slumber
Not grumpy but be safe
Better cover up your face
Coz I might flail about if I can't find my uppers

Premium Member Humour Can Cover Up Sadness

Humour is sometimes used to cover up sadness
To deal with events that interfere with our gladness
Our body's defence
To protect us against
Depression when it bombards us with blackness

Cover Up Fashion

Why not grow, a goatee or a beard
if you think, you look really weird

Why not wear, those three-quarter shorts
if you think, your legs look like warts

Why not wear, no belt with your pants
if you think, your rear end is for glance

Why not put those studs on your body
if you think, you were born a zombie

Why not put tattoos on your skin
if you think, you’re in a tailspin

Why don’t you like, what you see in the mirror
if you think, that you are getting queerer

Visur Cover Up

this been around
has a bad sound
its been there awhile
comes   miles
its like flowing dust
ITS A
VIRUS COVE 
UP

Premium Member Anatomy of a Cover-Up

A misstep detected
His image affected
PR staff directed
Positive spin injected

The slip-up rejected
An opponent suspected
To torture subjected
The slander corrected

Unanimously, as expected
The President re-elected
Foul play unsuspected
Threat now deflected

Premium Member Cover-Up

Publish rumors, spread hearsay
   Cover up, and outright lie
   '24/7 streaming' of today 
Does anyone listen? ~ If so, why?

Premium Member The Cover-Up

Honest people act like meat. Tough or tender.
Liars act like gravy. They cover-up.

Premium Member The Mystery of Humpty Dumpty - the Cover Up

I heard the tale of Humpty Dumpty who sat on a wall,
and how he managed  to have a terrible and fatal fall.

But let me be the first to set the record straight,
everything that happened that day was not fate.

Humpty was a rising  and upcoming gymnast,
that could do flips on the balance beam really fast.

He had enemies that hated him to the core,
they wanted to be Him,and so much more.

So one day they greased down the infamous wall,
Dumpty practiced there everyday, they knew he’d fall.

Until this day no one knows the true story,
It was the biggest lie told in modern history. 

My father was a king's horseman and a gymnast,
and helped kill him and think of a lie that would last.

U Can'T Cover Up

See today you are left alone
With ur painful decision and with ur phone .

I told you that your glamour ,your style & that stupid fame was just because of me 
But you thought I'm insanely after you just because of these .

Every time you broke my heart & asked for a second chance
And when i accept your apologise ,at my back i find u calling me a dumb & stupid man.

I thought you are still a cute little kid but when i found u rocking on bed with someone else,
Believe me now i just hate kids..!!

I'm completely shattered like mirror .

As fallen leaves can not get back to the tree again 
Same u can never enter in my life again.

Today though i have numerous buddies
But i can't express my tears of pain in front of one of them 
Not because they r not loyal,they r loyal
But baby a true happiness u can never hide 
And a true pain u can never express.

But i try my best to express me through writings,to give a way to my pain to flow out of my mind
But every time when i end my story i found me again with a new story !

The Cover Up

forgot wedding ring  
  separation soon legal
     symbol means nothing
