Freedom of speech is guaranteed
But this is such a different breed
To tell such bold face lies
Failing the stink test it flies
Lying is not protected free speech
It is a violation beyond the breach
When a lie is exposed a codification
Retracted or denounced without provocation
The right to lie has no know legal protections
The courts should have a say in its detection
Defamation of the truth should be a criminal offense
Its truth and justice that should be given pretense
