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.
