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

Truth may matter, but it doesn't matter to far too many people.
Well written, Blue.

Sounds like all political parties and politicians
They say" truth will out" but not in this day and age to many conspire to cheat, rob and lie to the people who elected them
Long live the truth, though sedomly heard
Love and light

Certain people can't be trusted, but then we have to let someone in. We don't want to live in fear. Keep on writing.

Yea...I have found some people don't really want the truth. They want the truth to be what they want. That's where clichés come from
The truth hurts sometimes.

This is fire. It's unbelievable how "misinformation" has become a part of culture now and the masses will believe anything.
Thank you for sharing such a powerful and truthful verse.

My favorite "truth"...when I wipe my ass I know that I am getting a hell of a lot of assistance...I know that there is absolutely nothing that I can ever do in life that doesn't require lots of help...or as a Zen master once said...the truth is always found right beneath your feet. Great ink Blue.

Re: Re. seas of misbelieve
That's a heavy, yet simple why-didn't-I-think-of-that, kinda statement. I'm just sooooo very tired of evil propaganda, perpetrated as factual truth. Does a nihilist believe in science?... To me, our (the USA) situation here is akin to that. Believing Scientific Fact vs unicorns and clouds made out of orange sherbert. That's my disgust boiling over, into this spill. I know I can't control things that are out of my control. Ok fine... However, I just want a shred of decency and intelligence resorted to 70 million (give or take) of my fellow citizens... lol...
Ty for your AMAZING comments. and your RL add too. I'm forever grateful for you, Harry
You allow me to always look at things from another perspective... 💜

Does a Nihilist believe in Science? We tend to think that Nihilists don't believe in anything...I think my favorite film of all time, Big Lebowski, didn't help here lol. As a Nihilist I believe in lots of things, I just know that it's more than likely not to be some "absolute truth"...mainly bullshit, so I don't get stuck in my beliefs...stops me from becoming to damn dogamatic, if you know what I mean Blue. So do I believe in science? I believe that science can help me in many ways, like a good political system, like a fine Aussie shiraz or a ice-cold beer on a hot summer day. A Nihilist does not believe that science, politicians, religions or religious gurus, or anything or anyone else is going to create some external utopia...or heaven for me...I believe that just about everything that comes out of my mouth and everyone's mouth...is shit. We all just keep making shit up in order to deal with this...reality...sadly, we then try to convince everyone else that my shit is the best shit in the entire world. So for me, Nihilism is the most profound form of spirituality...freedom...an acceptance that we are all just trying to make it thru each day as best we can...the best thing I can do is try to help someone wipe their own ass.
I love these words of the 9th century Zen master Huang-Po.
“Not till your thoughts cease all their branching here and there, not till you abandon all thoughts of seeking for something, not till your mind is motionless as wood or stone, will you be on the right road to freedom."
