2020 vision, or they still lie to us
They always lie to us.
When they proclaim they are
telling the truth
they act as if this were
virtue on their part,
rather than a sacred duty.
They always lie to us.
The wars never end
by Christmas,
there were no weapons of
mass destruction
and
the faltering fail-safes
often fail to hold,
situations being always
worse than they proclaim.
They always lie to us.
Drip feeding us morsels,
indecipherable
tit bits of truth,
is also a form of lying.
They always lie to us,
so much so
that it is no longer
a source of sadness,
instead,
the sadness lies
in how often we
forget,
how seldom we
remember,
in our ever and always
believing,
not admitting that
they always lie to us.
Hmm. Scientists have stated that the universe began with a ‘big bang’ (explosion of fire) and that human life eventually evolved long afterward. So we are born of fire and we shall die by fire [nuclear war or the ‘wear and tear’ (a slower burn) of existing, etc.]
“Out of the fire, we came to be, and into the fire, we cease to be.”
