War On The Truth

It’s been shackled
and chained
tackled
and blamed
Put to the knife
with a lie
Stole
or removed
falsely disproved
left in the corner
to die

So righteous
they stand
propaganda
in hand
in a land
where profit
holds firmer
than proof
Politicians
and spy’s
as lies
build more lies
continue their war
on the truth

It’s been spat at
abused
pissed on
and used
accused of being ugly
cold and uncouth
The facts
on display
now the facades
decay
revealing
the horrors of war
on the truth

Blown up
bombed or slain
brought down
by a plane
Choice
simply shot
in the head
By murder
and mayhem
they strive
to silence
to hide
to bury alive
But alas
The truth is not dead
