Self Evidence

It doesn't take much tinkering with speech  
to have listeners jump to conclusions,  
principally, when their cognitive reach  
foments hate and ensuing confusions.  
 
You can make men think they don't have it good  
when matchmakers pair a bitch and a moan  
and optimism is not understood  
by anger whores...negativity prone,  
when liberty needs its share of support...  
since those are the times, especially then,  
when worry covers each truth with a wart.  
   
We must ploughshare beat the sword to a pen,  
then brandish it...forever and a day,  
until facts, again, maintain right of way.
