Image for the poem seas of misbelieve

seas of misbelieve

 
Mis-truths, falsity, obfuscate, mislead. . . .
A lie is a lie is a lie - turned screed
'By any other name'
There's no sweetness here,
Just a typical bewilderment
of all that's unclear

To say one thing
and mean another
such brutality
in a victim's blinded falter
Spinning tales
as weakness devours,
no hint or whim,
disregarding facts as truth dully sours

Unashamed wicked tongue
spews from a pulpit of lies
With no empathic care
of the damage in lying cries

The powers that be stay silent,
their mouths bound in complicit
While most wring hands,
desperate with a ray of hope on how we're going to fix it

Emboldened and more unstable
wrapped in utter fantasy
they gladly kneel & pray
to a grifting deity,
an invisible profit
for all those who pay
consoling their conscience,
as they look the other way.

To lay faith in con men,
hucksters of no worth
speaks volumes about a lack of true character
and those skeletons that need unearthed

Eyes open wide
with a mandate tucked in our side
Dawning a new day of freedom's ring
With booming voices, hark!
Respect & Truth will sing
