Real Eyes See

I realize

I have real eyes

That see real lies—

     ~Nearsighted
          (rule of law)

     ~Farsighted
          (rule of lies)

     ~The "ayes" have it
          (hidden agenda)

     ~The "ayes" have it
          (secret addenda)

     ~The "ayes" have it
          (hate crimes)

     ~The "ayes" have it
          (critical times)

     ~Unmitigated truth
          (entombed)

     ~Undocumented lies
          (exhumed)

I realize

I have real eyes

That see real lies—

     ~As the world cries
