A lie is a mistruth
Told purposefully.
A truth is an admission
Of a lie.
A penny for your thoughts –
I’d pay a pound
For the politician’s mic on hustings
To lose sound.
For distortion’s an illusion
That misrepresents –
Extravagantly foolish –
People vent
Their anger – Meet Frustration –
Uncertain who you are.
A cavalcade lost in persona –
Ubiquitous, are you a star
Who will raise his hand and say;
‘It’s me, I’m here –
The only thing you have to fear
Is fear.’
Oh, take your chance,
Behold! Illusion’s lost
Like the better part of man
Compared to ghost.
Count the pennies and the pounds,
Make truth surpass the lie.
Distort distortion’s ill-respect –
Look me right in the eye!
