WHEN TRUTH IS LIES

call the truth a lie
then tell a another lie,
then lie some more --
a flood of lies
a goddamn tsunami
of outrageous bullshit
that breaches the levee, baby,
and let that shit roll
across the landscape
taking down trees
and knocking stuff down,
not just lies
but deep, horrendous,
obvious monster lies
told with conviction,
lies so big and clumsy
that we used to laugh at them
but no more
because they come so hard and fast
the truth can't even breathe
and you can bury that stupid, earnest fucker
with more lies
until lies
are all there is
and truth
looks like lies
and lies
look like truth
and then say
"see, i told you, those fuckers lie"
and you don't care
how outrageous the lie
just spew bullshit
like a bullshit machine
like a semiautomatic
bullshit rifle
fired at random
hitting god knows what
instigating discontent
and misery
and i swear
you're killing the very thing
you say you want to save
and are obviously too obsessed to care
